Think it thru carefully and be honest with yourself. I retired 7 years ago at 62 and have never regretted it. Very good friend retired 6 months ago at 69 and is bored crazy. He went thru his complete long to-do list in the first 3 months.
Also consider that health insurance will be outrageous until you hit 65 and get on Medicare. And that is a long time to live off your savings unless you are very well positioned.
We are blessed in that our excellent health ins from my employer will stay with us after retirement until we are Medicare eligible.
