I'm very close to retiring.

I turn 65 in July, will be signing up for Medicare soon. My wife is a couple of years younger than I am and works part time. She is currently covered by my employer's insurance. I may end up working until the first of the year to keep her covered by insurance a while longer. If I retire before the beginning of 2023, I lose my employer's matching 401-K contributions, which sucks.

I work from home 4 days a week, which isn't bad. The work isn't hard, just annoying as I have to deal with teams in India and China a lot. I'm considering asking to work part time if it keeps insurance on my wife.

I have looked through my employer's retirement plan, and I see no advantage in giving them months of advance notice of my retirement.
