Default Re: Age you started Social Security?

I loved my job at IBM - but not the stress - so having said that, i retired at the age 53. Am financial set with all the hard work and sacrifice my wife and i put into IBM (she worked there as well). Not having kids has its benefits as well and some downside, but i understand that. So at the age of 53 i turned the hobby into a larger hobby, play golf and travel and enjoy life for the most part, and help out family and friends when they need something. 10 yrs later I took my SS when it came up - don't need the money, so i use it to draw less on the retirement funds to enjoy life.

Optionally i can use it to pay down the house mortgage sooner, or buy Kimberly a new lexus RX, or just save it.

I cannot complain.....
