I retired from the Federal government at age 59. I was eligible at 55 but my wife was also working. She was able to get an early retirement from her government job at 52. We both retired on the same day!!

No regrets at all about retiring. The Villages was not even on our radar at that point. However, we moved shortly after retiring (2 years) and became year round residents of The Villages. Best thing ever.

I would not have felt right about retiring and my wife having to continue work for 4 more years. I liked my job, made a decent salary, so I would have to say we both retired at exactly the right time.
