A good article as there have been several "Retirement" threads here lately.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/is...ble-2018-07-11

"...According to SmartAsset’s analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, the average retirement age in the United States is 63 years old. When you look at the average by state, it varies from a high of 65 to a low of 62, with New Englanders having the oldest average retirement age. Based on this data, early could be anytime before 62 or 65, depending on where you live..."

Check out the Retirement Income Calculator at the bottom too.

very good article. long term planning (assuming one lives the life expectancy of the average person) is indeed important and it starts from small daily actions - from avoiding the extra cup of coffee/drink to cutting down on that extra drive. The small actions add up to something especially towards retirement age.

Aren't the antioxidants in coffee shown to have health benefits??

No advice on buying a 10K Rolex to appreciate 3K-5K in 30 years? No? :)

I like the concept in the article about semi-retirement. I’m scaling back a little at the end of this year at 57 with the idea of being half-time by age 60. Who knows how long I can work at half my normal hours and days. I could stay on till 65, give it all up at 63 or find that I enjoy the slower pace and work later than 65. Either way, it’s a great way to keep a group health insurance and disability policy affordable.

I’ve had colleagues quit at 58 and others work till 68 and beyond. I never thought to ask them about health insurance since I wasn’t near that age.

Retired at 55 with full medical and govt benefits. So blessed to be Canadian.

Good article. Thanks.
As it stands right now I'm planning on retirement at 62. I'm 51 now.

I guess I should feel blessed I have 3 months to go, at 59 1/2.
In fact, I do feel blessed.

I am 42 and pretty far ahead of my retirement goals. I am taking a chance with a career change (same field, different position with bigger upside) at the end of the year. We live well below our means and squirrel a lot of money away before it ever hits the check book.

My plan is to go full time until I am 55 and then part time until I am 67. Retire, take my pension and live on that until 70. Take my Social Security at 70 and draw off of my other investments as needed. Health insurance will be an issue but as long as I am working I have health insurance, STD, LTD and 401k match.
