Re: Early retirement.
Good thinking! Now if I could just travel back in time to the summer of 1963 and throw away that first gift carton of cigarettes! I must have been a dumb teenager. (redundant?)  Guy

By taking the early retirement you should get all your benefits whereas if you waited you would not recoup those 2 plus years...

Re: Getting paid by Uncle Sugar
I agree with you about accepting what was promised to me from that day in the summer of 1963 when I first stepped onto the rat-race. JFK was president then and the world was both very different and disturbingly the same. We'll never learn enough to avoid dropping right back into the age-old repeating cycles of temporary insanity followed by something less bad than that. Rinse and repeat. You are a talented and articulate writer. I enjoy what I have read of your writing.  Guy

You've gotta take it when you're entitled to it. Some don't, you know. Some sort of false pride, even though they've paid in for year upon year.
