Don't retire?
Don't retire. And if you must, retire much later than age 65.
Agree/Disagree? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.bus...-retire-2017-7 Something to consider... |

If you'd tell me i'll live to be 105, i wouldn't retire before 65.
Else, i'd retire tomorrow and be my own boss. So many things to do...

I can see why, the avg rent in California is about the same as the income of a starters bachelor's degree job over here. Absolutely insane.

Love what I do. Not heavy lifting. See no reason to retire at a specific age.

this gets into the quality of life vs quantity of life argument. Longer doesn't mean better.
My grandma is in great shape and in her late 90's. She isn't going on vacation or doing anything particularly enjoyable though. So why wait until you are super old to retire if you don't have to. Your lifestyle is pretty sedentary regardless of your health at that age. No thanks.

But Mon, is it really house arrest if I'm doing it voluntarily?

Unless you absolutely love your profession / business the goal of your employment should be to retire comfortably from it as soon as possible. PERIOD.

Honesty isn't always pretty. But here's a question for you Fleetlord. What if you're the boss and not an employee? Curious if the same sentiments would apply. |

I am the boss and the sentiments do apply. If someone showed up with a check to buy me out, I would retire tomorrow. Until that day, I will just continue working and saving. Once I hit my goal, I will close my business and sell off all the assets.

I don’t plan to retire. Rather, I plan to change careers to something that suits my later years. Such as oil painting or sport fishing. I do plan to do that as soon as possible though.

Everyone's situation is different.
You also need to define what the term "retirement" means to you.

But I won't stop working. I'll never stop working. I will probably retire from running companies and move on to saving animals, but I will always do something. But I won't need to work for money. That will be retirement for me. |

If I could retire tomorrow I could easily become involved in so many things I have no time for now because of work. Retirement to me isn't sitting on a beach, it's about have time to do more of the things I choose to do with my life Edit: first thing I'd do is shed the smart phone |

Retired from a civil service job at 42, worked full time 5 additional years, now do freelance work 5 or 6 days a month. If you can afford to do it, don't wait.
Life is good....... |

I enjoy my work but enjoy my hobbies and family more. Been planning and setting myself up to retire in my mid fifties throughout my working lifetime. Almost there.

Don't retire?
I'm pretty far from retirement age-wise, but my hope is that at 65 I'll be doing something I love enough, and be financially secure enough, to not have to retire in the traditional sense. Maybe transition into a career that involves more mentoring and get away from career advancement and the daily grind, but, health permitting, I can't see ever just quitting and spending all day playing golf, but who know how my priorities will change over the coming decades.
Maybe it's just my screwed up American work ethic talking- who knows. |
