I went into this consultation hoping that my benefits would actually increase by deferring till spring 2025. Looking like this retirement shit is going to happen this October.
I don't know why I am hesitant. I have plenty to do. Its just going to be a big life style change and I need to wrap my head around it.

I recommend this easy read book for anyone approaching retirement. Maybe it will help you wrap your head around it.
I took to retirement like a duck to water! I would have left a few years earlier had I known then what I know now.
