From BankRate: Seven Signs That It’s Not The Right Time To Retire Now

I just saw a post from Bank Rate, Seven Signs That It’s Not The Right Time To Retire Now. It has some timely thoughts for anyone who’s nearing retirement, and I wanted to share it with you. I especially like this quote from Bud Hebeler which offers good information about why you may want to delay collecting those social security checks:

The very best annuity is Social Security. By delaying the start of Social Security, there is an 8 percent gain each year

Here are the seven signs from the article:

1. You’re eligible for Social Security
2. You plan to work full time
3. Your spouse doesn’t want you to retire
4. You don’t have a place to go
5. Your counting on the stock market
6. You haven’t planned for health care costs
7. You have financial obligations
