The date you choose to retire is completely up to you and so is the choice of when to start using your retirement savings – as long as it's after age 55.
If you have more than one retirement fund, you can also choose when and how much you need from each fund after retirement, with the option of not taking any payout from a fund until you're ready. Of course, the longer you wait to take a payout from a fund, the more time your money has to grow.
It's important to review your investment strategy as you get close to your retirement date to make sure it reflects your changing investment needs.
