I'm retired as of tomorrow night as I turn 62 on Thursday and don't have to return to work until Thursday . So , my plan is to retire , and don't let work know about it . Rather just notch it down a bit !
I delayed mine for way too long. It had the effect of increasing the retirement benefit payout. I had reached the "relatively secure" point anyway, and I was doing like you, a retirement in the mind only. The COVID thing bounced me into retirement proper, the senior's "coming out" if you will. @savarin is right about the feeling!No Mike , I'm retiring in my mind only . I'm set financially to go but I'll continue until it's not fun any longer . I do plan on changing shifts and leaving my floor position for better work .
For me It was a difficult decision as it involves not only finances but also wrestling with our personal identity.
