Much closer for me,59 3/4, can retire at 60. I was offered severance 2 years ago but would have taken a 25% reduction in pension so kept working. Paid off the mortgage at 49, have been saving 1/3 of our income ( nearly half if you include pension contributions) since then, we will not be rich but hopefully will be able travel while we can. As others have said don't forget to enjoy life you only get one go at it.
