As long as I stay in Ca. I'll never be able to retire even with a pension and SS. You guys that can retire should! At 68 years old I still work full time and am lucky to be fit and able to do so. I hate my job but I still do it well and it's close to home. I would love to pack up and move to TN. The cost of everything here in Ca. is just outrageous and only getting worse. I took SS at 62 because I didn't want to be one of those people who checked out before I collected.
