[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my advice would be less financial and more… philosophical?
I think you have the privilege of being financially comfortable enough to basically do as you please. You can afford to draw at 62 and have extra 5 or 8 years of charitable giving and enjoying the thought of it. So why not do it?
I don’t know much about Medicare and I sure hope your DH keeps his job so you still have the same choice between Medicare and his insurance as you do today. I would not be thinking about it just yet. 
Good luck with whatever you decide! [/quote]

Thanks. PP, I appreciate your holistic comments here.

Look, the possibility of an extra grand/month @ 70 speaks to my more thrifty Midwestern ways. I also know that I could make a difference in some folks' lives, especially when they may need to make decisions with great consequence

Still need to talk this through with DH, who may not be as on board here. He grew up UMC and doesn't always get how even modest amounts of money can be lifechanging.[/quote]
