Default Retirement Age?

I'm finished at 57, how about everyone else.

I think the stock market will have somewhat of a say as to when I'll retire.

Oh, and your survey sucks. Generally, your options should include all reasonable ranges which people might answer. And the polite thing to do is also to add a 42 option, for those who want to abstain from voting but see the results.

You don't need "42" for that reason. Just click on the "View Results" link.

A better reason for "42" is that if you fail to predict all possible responses, then you've still covered your a$$.

Clicking on "View Results" every time I visit a survey is a pain in the ass. I'd tend to just make up a vote, skewing the results, rather than do this every time.

Never mind 42. What about >65. My SSRA is 67. I think I'll wait at least until then.

Just received my estimate of earnings from Social Security. If my social security earnings in 2003 through 2025 are $0, then I'll receive a monthly lifetime payment of $822.

OTOH, if my social security earnings in 2003 through 2025 are at the maximum, then I'll receive a monthly payment lifetime payment of $2,245.
