If you have retirement savings locked up in a tax deferred status (in the US), you can access them without paying a tax penalty. You just have to inform the IRS that you are using your savings for retirement and the distributions must be paid in a monthly amortized amount based on your life expectancy.Is it possible to retire at 57, and how do i apply for benefits?
In canada you cant get any pension until you hit 65. Otherwise you must live off your savings and investments.
You can retire at 57 if you can afford to. But you can't get social security until 62 at the earliest unless you are disabled or widowed. Whether or not you can get payments from a work retirement plan depends on the plan - and even if yours does, be very careful since there's usually a huge reduction in monthly payments if you collect that early. If you have tax-deferred retirement plans like a 401K or IRA, you are usually penalized if you money out before you are 59-1/2.
