Wow Craig, one of the best forums I have read on here in a long time, and a lot of good answers. So there were a few things NOT said . First, there is NOTHING saying you can't take your retirement to lock in your medical for retirement, then go work for a competitor. Everyone is hiriing and it sounds like you have skills. You might find you can get a job for a few years that pays you MORE than you were making. I would not let a pension decision like that drive whether it is time to actually retire.
From a financial perspective, it sounds like you are in good shape. It is amazing how much better working one more year makes a retirement look, but you can get carried away with that. I doubt you will get bored in TV.
That being said- I think you should keep working and rent a few months in the villages every year. May is great, but I have to tell you September and October are wonderful also.... I have just the place for you to rent too!
Signed,
Your favorite Landlord
Ed
