This post was started about a year ago. I responded early, but now it's a year alter and I'm one month away from turning 67 and still working. I work from home and have to go into the office 2 - 3 times a month, so I don't have to deal with traffic at all.

I came very close to retiring about a month ago. My boss wanted me to fly to Pittsburg for some testing, but I didn't want to fly. The company relented and me and another guy drove there and back, so I didn't put in my paperwork. I'm still thinking hard about retiring when I turn 67 in about a month.

I applied to cut my hours from 40 hrs a week to 24 hrs a week and it was denied. My boss said that it still cost him a full head count if I went to part time status. So there is no phasing out, it's going to be an all or none situation.

For those that have retired in the last year, how has it been?
