A 100% disabled veteran with a steady income and growing aches is considering whether to retire now or wait a few more years. In a recent post on Reddit's r/retirement forum, he explained his situation: he enjoys his job, but not like he used to. He and his wife bring in $7,500 a month (including her early Social Security benefits), have little savings, and own a home with $350,000 in equity.

He's wondering: Is it wise to walk away from a career now, or should he push through for a couple more years and save $100,000 first?
