Jan, financially ready to retire, but...
by Jan
(North Carolina)
I am scheduled to retire at the end of the year. I have found out that my company retiree insurance is going to be $100 more that I was originally quoted.
I think I can still handle this and my financial planner says that I am in a good financial place, so I can afford to retire.
Even so, I am VERY nervous about it and don't know what to do. Is this normal? Should I forget retiring and work longer? I am 63 years old and have some arthritic issues. My doctor says it the longer I work, the more damage I am doing to my joints.
I need objective advice.
