So my Fortune 500 Financial Services firm just mandated the jab. No way I'm getting the vax so I need to make a quick decision: I'm eligible for early retirement so do I go down that road (which has heathcare and 401k benefits) or hold out and let them fire me (then take legal action)? The Patriot in me wants to hold out and let them can me but it's hard to turn down the retirement options (for my family's sake). Any pedes out there in a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! WWG1WGA!

My family was fortunate. My spouse took retirement from his lifelong career and worked at a local private school for a couple of years before "retiring" from that as well. This was in the year before COVID was full blown, but he saw it coming and said, "No thank you." It's been the best decision we could have made. We used one of our "extra" retirement savings accounts to pay off our house, so we don't even have that to worry about. You can do it! And I think you'll be glad you did. The rewards far outweigh the negatives.
