Not me. I get a few hundred off my insurance for a $150 Dr. visit. Plus a blood test for some things being monitored over my life that I like to keep tabs on.How many want to skip the yearly Dr. Exam?

The way I read it, the first column was the age people expected/planned to retire, the 2nd was when they actually did. So by that interpretation, almost 30% thought they'd wait 'til 70, but only 7% actually did, with just under 70% retiring before age 65.That's very interesting. Big spread in the 62-64 age, I wonder if that has anything to do with waiting for Medicare? Am I reading this right that 29% of 70+ yr olds wait that long to retire?
I signed up for SS at 62. Had just lost my job and wasn't sure I'd find another with similar pay without a long commute. As it happened, the freelance/contract self-employment work I found brought in more than I thought, so when I hit 66 they recalculated and I got quite a bump. No increases since then even though I'm still doing some work (as reported on 1099s).Having some W-2 wages after signing up at age 70 in 2021 has given me a small benefits boost the last two years
The 2nd graph was a bit more interesting...did the number of 75+ year olds in the workforce almost double vs 10 years ago? Poor financial planning or something else?
