In the organization I work in, there's a bi-modal age distribution, large group in the middle 50's to early 60's and another group in the early 30's.
Among my peers, most (but not all) are trying to figure out how we're going to get out and survive. All of us have the insurance concerns.
I did have a financial planner tell me to burn through my savings and don't collect SS until (IRC) 72. Even if I get the insurance issue resolved, don't see getting to retirement before 63... too many things to do before then.
For me, wildcard could be workload due to project status. I may have a choice handed to me... but with my "reputation" for getting things done, there are others that may go first. IDK, right now, have to get through my wife's upcoming surgery {major}, followed up several weeks later by my surgery {moderately minor}.
