I retired from teaching at age 61 and 5 months. I had reached burnout, some of which was self-imposed. Finances have been tight, but I've never regretted the compromise of a tight budget.
Oh, Karen, thanks for sharing. I had planned on retiring at 66; with both my husband's and my SSA and my school benefits, we could have managed. But when Ron died, I put it off until I could max out my own SSA. I HOPE I don't regret it. Pretty sure I won't!
