Last time I checked, people can retire whenever they want to. It's thinking like the above quote that has people following the government around like drones waiting to be told what to do with their lives.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Regarding receiving your social security checks when you retire!

There is nothing wrong at all about getting some social security for your retirement. In fact most folks are waiting to retire and get their social security checks after they reach 62 years old.

It's thinking like yours that what wrong here. My thinking is just fine and dandy.

You said the following:
"Last time I checked, people can retire whenever they want to."

Now you know well that not every can retire whenever they want to. That's really a false statement or should I say it's more like wishful thinking.

Now if you have the money to retire and not work anymore , more power to you. But if you chose to retire before 62 you area still going to have to wait until you can get your social security checks.

Bush would have you waiting until you were 70 years old before you start drawing on social security. Perhaps McBush will do follow Bush's policy on moving back the retirement age for social security.

Depending on social security checks for after-retirement funding is a risky proposition at best regardless of the retirement age. I wouldn't depend on the government to come thru on that, even though it is money that YOU contributed over your years of work service.

You can retire at whatever age you wish. You just can't get social security checks until X age, whatever that is.
