At what age you want to retire

[confident50]

hello,
I just wanted to ask u all AT WHAT AGE U WANT TO RETIRE? and what are your plans after retirement...?
For me , If u want to do something in life then there is no age of retirement
I don't want to retire at all i want to keep working like this....
After retirement we hv lots of time to fulfill our dreams and do our desired jobs according to our hobbies and interest for which we didn't had time because of job engagements............

I don't think I know that word. Retire?

I guess it depends on how one defines retirement.

Why should I save for my "Golden Years" when I either won't be able to do the things I enjoy anymore or am put in a retirement home?

I spend my money now (and spend and save for my children's well being and futures) because my young years ARE my golden years.:blink:

If I live to be 70 and find out I have brain cancer or something, I'm not going to hand over a nest egg of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars for lifeline medications, treatments or cures so I can maybe buy a few more years for myself while someone else gets rich off my misfortune and in turn takes from my family's livelihood. I couldn't afford to spend that money now let alone have to worry about it then. If I have any money....I'll just hand it over to my children and spend my last days with them.

Retirement is like beauty ......it's all in the eye of the beholder.

To me the thought of retirement is just one big ball and chain. Work has always really just been a hobby to me. Whether it's working for someone else or myself. Enjoying the learning experiences within skill sets is much more important and rewarding to me. And learning to make due with what I have when I have it. That is how I maintain my youth. And it's less worry. I may not even live long enough to see my Social Security benefits after saving all these years. I wish there was a way to use all that up now as well or hand it off to my children. :D

I enjoy many hobbies.... and maybe someday one or two will pay off with hard work and a little luck, but I try to enjoy the things that are not inevitable in life....and try not to worry about the things that are.

I live for the pleasures of life....not in fear of death, harboring excess money, being poor at an old age or who's going to take care of me if and when I can't take care of myself. I will probably live longer because of this.%%-

Ideally, as soon as possible. Under 40 would be great. Retirement doesn't mean not being active, it just means you could put your time in whatever you like, without any pressure or major consequences if you need to take a break from it.

Correct: If you really Love what your do, then "retirement" isn't needed; Extended vacations might be nice. :tu:

I wish I'm 20 years now - it is the best time in the youth periaod of life: everything is just beginning and the whole life is in front of your sight!

I just read somewhere recently, I believe it was Yahoo News, that $1,000,000 million dollars does not go very far in this day and age especially when you forfeit income, such as in "retirement". And we all know investments can be hacked up in a hurry as well.
How much would one need tucked away nowadays in order to not work anymore from let's say.......50 yrs old...and not have to come out of retirement again?

With Social Security evaporating (here in the UStates) and possibly gone over the next couple decades or so, we probably won't be able to look forward to this at age 65 (or older).

It is a good thing Pres. Bush didn't let Social Security ride on the stockmarkets as he had hoped.

I want to retire from my work when I am 40 to concentrate on earning online.

My way of thinking. About 20 years ago. lol Guess a person needs a reason to get up in the morning. I'd rather be fishing.

21. A little more than 2 years from now.

 

[Keral_Patel]

I am already retired Was retired before I even started.

I don't know the meaning of retirement. As I can't keep my hands off from doing something even if it doesn't makes me money. But then when you do something then it surely pays back and then one can say I am not retired yet.

The story goes on and on until I am fed up of everything and I decide that I never want to sit in front of PC again.

 

[ronald01]

Retire? at 40 years old I guess but as long as I can work more for my family and future children, then I will take it for granted.
