When someone else retires has nothing to do with when you retire. That question is as individual as any can get. For instance I am 60, but I won't be retiring until I am 70. Why, not because I don't have the money, it's because I wish to maximize. Because for instance, I have a teenager that still has probably 6 or more years of schooling yet. My wife is also a whole lot younger then me, so if I wait until 70 to retire, she collects the maximum amount of social security allowed for a whole lot of years after I die. etc., etc., etc. Only you can answer that question for you. What someone else does doesn't matter. Maybe you should talk to a professional, the cost vs. the benefit may be well worth it. Certainly better then asking on a internet forum.
It seems to me that the OP is merely asking at what age people retired and what they do about medical insurance, and not looking for advice on when he should retire.
Yes I was just curious to see what other people have done. I have a professional financial guy for what that's worth (I always figured if they were so smart, why were they not rich). I am thinking maybe 62 so I have 4 more years. We will be debt free. If I need to work I want to make the salary I am making now. I don't want to retire and have to work a part time job for minimum wage.
