In regards to the age of 62 or 66 I just can't answer. It might be best to get in touch with your financial advisor for the best options that work for you and your hubby.

My parents retired in their mid 40's. That has always been my goal but now that I am in my mid 40's I can see it's just not going to happen. Oh well, atleast we are trying. Our biggest hurdle is our private health insurance. It's so high now and I wanna throw up just realizing what it will cost when we are at retirement age, ugh!! My hubby says he may have to work like 1 or 2 days a week just to afford our health insurance. It sucks!!

We just don't make enough to "save, save, and save."...LOL And as for having a "financial advisor" we don't have one of those either. I guess our old age is just gonna suck to high heaven. Figures!!!! Nothing else in this life as worked out except my son.....don't know what I was really expecting. Wish we would have had the knowledge that is out there now and maybe we could've had a good plan for the future....as it is....what's the point. This has totally bummed me out.
