I was (actually still am) in a union. Back when I started this thread, I had already gotten an estimate of benefits from our benefits office and was pleased at the numbers I saw. I just (last week) put in another "request of benefits estimate" and also requested my application papers so I can start the retirement process, and am awaiting their reply. It will be interesting to see if the numbers changed much. If I wanted, I could always delay my retirement.
Only 2 months to go! ( I think - I can't remember if I'll get my first check at the beginning or end of January).
