re: At what age did you retire, and what did you do to get there?

Sorry if already covered, but for you guys that retired early, how did you handle health insurance? That's the big issue the people that I know in their 50's and early 60's seem to worry about how to handle.

So in my case and with my company my years of service and age were such that my and my wife’s health insurance was about $500 per month. When I turned 65 I went on Medicare. It is cheaper. My wife is under 65 and her insurance is about $200 per month. Overall health insurance has been pretty easy for us. You just have to make it to Medicare age. I know others have much higher monthly costs.
