I retired early at the age of 60. Partly because of past family health history. Didn't know if I would follow my dad's side or my mom's side. Looking back, I could/should have retired at 65. But I didn't think i would last at the plant power because of the new company. They were making things tough on the older guys. I had 7 weeks of vacation time and 520 hrs of sick time every year for the last 5 yrs there. If I would have stayed for another 2 yrs. i would have picked up another week of vacation. They don't like those kind of benefits.
