Do you want to retire?

[MikeTheBartender]

I am quite astounded by the amount of people that don't want to...

Yes

No

[DishLady]

Well... perhaps retire from one job to work with something that's less strenuous, but I don't think I'd ever stop working.

I watched many of the guys in my family after retirement and they basically have nothing to do... Travel? They get tuckered out and end up wanting to stay home. Hobbies? There are only so many model ships you can make, so many rifles or stamps or whatever that you can collect before you're board out of your mind. Sports? As you get older the window of what sports you can still physically get into decreases and just watching isn't necessarily the same. And so... a lot of them use the time to be with family, but still keep a consultation practice on the side so their mind doesn't go numb (so to speak). Staying mentally engaged keeps a person spry and staves off a lot of medical conditions. They also have somehow gotten their second wind with their wives 😘 😉 🫣 😂...

We all have the same very daunting example of my granddad, who was a REMARKABLE guy. I mean... just WOW... Anyway, HE retired very late due to his service job. Once he retired he only had about five years left to his life... His mind went, his eyes too... and it was sad to see the guy we all loved and looked up to fade right in front of us. All his dreams of traveling with gran, adventuring and such all fell to the wayside very unexpectedly. 😢😢😢

So... the rest of us make sure to keep busy. be strong and plan ahead.

Now? No, lol.

I think most people do when they get older.

Some say you Retire You Expire but on the other hand I don’t want to work my whole life & one day I do want to Retire Before I Expire. My employer is paying into my retirement & giving me a pension & I’m paying into my retirement as well so knock on wood I want to enjoy it one day.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

On the flip side I don’t want to be one of these people that retire & sit on the couch or drop dead a week after they retire. I want to retire at the minimum age & actually enjoy life after doing so.

correct people crumble when they retire n stop routine.
raise retire age to "life expectancy minus one" so 83-1.

Yes, I have been on a hamster wheel since I was 17. I think it is time to do something else with the time I have left. I am retiring next month. I was going to wait until after the election but I figured if Biden is re-elected we are all screwed anyway.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Of course I want to retire, but the question of whether or not I can is what’s up in the air.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I'm too young for that but I know my mom would love to retire.

[Nikki1989]

Not really. You need something to retire to. Retiring with nothing to do every day sounds very boring to me.

[Anonymous]

I am retired. That doesn't mean I don't have a side hustle of sorts. I just work when I want to. It's a pretty sweet gig. In my opinion that's the key to happiness. Work does not feel like work when you can do it at your convenience.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes. A good part of my current purpose is creating methods of generating enough passive income so I do not have to work.

[strateguy632]

because people are not lazy. many are responsible.

i mean look at joe biden did he retire at age 80?

[DrPepper12]

I did but had to retire on disability due to yealth readins. Because I retired early, I've lost the opportunity to save and earn for those additional 10 years and that scares the s*** out of me

[NathanDavis]

I'm already gone.

[MikeTheBartender]

At 34? Well done brother!

[RedInnocent69]

Sure, not to not do anything ever again, but do more work volunteering, and maybe some special projects.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’d like to - At 40. But It’s unlikely.

[AviatorTom]

Already there.

[Alex-Snow]

One day but that is a long way off for me

[SotiCoto]

I just want to die. That is all.

[jahaims]

Already am
