They're in their early to mid fifties though, so they've still got time : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-292690 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:32:21 +0000 prettylizy 292690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. They are all 55 and under (Happy 55th Bday FIL today!) and plan on working for quite a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-292653 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:07:45 +0000 BSB 292653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is retired.

Now he spends a lot of time at home with us. I love it and the kids love spending time with their papa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-292604 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:34:54 +0000 pinkcupcake 292604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are retired; ILs are still working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250953 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:29:04 +0000 mrsjyw 250953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FIL has been retired for about 10 years now. Both of my parents and MIL still work! My mom is retiring this year and will be our primary caretaker when I go back to work early next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250951 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:28:10 +0000 littlebug 250951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My FIL has been retired for about 10 years (took an early package from his company). My MIL just retired in April. They are both in their late 60s. My mom and step-dad are retiring on Nov. 30 (mom will be 60, step-dad will be 57). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250937 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:16:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 250937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents aren't--they're in their mid-50s. My ILs are, however. My FIL actually just retired a month or two ago. They're both in their mid-60s, and made really really smart financial investments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250935 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:15:52 +0000 yoursilverlining 250935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My dad will never really be able to retire in part because my mom never worked, and in part because he loves working (or is just so used to it he wouldn't really know what to do with himself otherwise!). My FIL is a professor, and I guess semi retired but he still teaches - just not a full courseload every semester plus meetings, committee work, etc. MIL is a lawyer and works about 70 hours a week. She talks about retiring, but going into teaching at a law school, or something like that. She has no desire to not work.</p> <p>They are all in their mid-late 60's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250918 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:01:01 +0000 Bookish 250918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my parents and my IL's are around 58-62 but I don't think any of them are thinking about retiring soon! My mom just went back into the workforce after my parent's divorce (after 25 years of not working) so she has some catching up to do retirement savings-wise. My dad keeps joking that for every year of college he is paying for (twin sisters!) he loses a year of retirement, but in reality I don't think he has any desire to slow down, he loves working. My poor FIL will not be retiring anytime soon because they had to put a lot of their savings into raising their grandkid. </p> <p>DH and I are saving big time now so we don't have to worry as much in 30 years! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250905 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:52:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 250905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents aren't retired, but my MIL is. She retired a year or so ago at 55. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250892 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:43:41 +0000 DillonLion 250892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Both of our parents are in their early-mid 50s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250890 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:42:57 +0000 regberadaisy 250890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has been for years; she retired when my SILs were expecting their first.</p> <p>My MIL is retired and my FIL will be in a few months. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250876 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:35:16 +0000 heffalump 250876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet.... but my mom is retiring in the next couple of months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250874 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:34:38 +0000 JoJoGirl 250874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FIL is 72 and is starting to think about retiring. My parents are in their mid-60s and likely won't start considering it for another 5 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250771 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:29:59 +0000 nana87 250771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my fil is 72, but he's going to be one of those people that works up until the day he is mentally unable to do so. he and mil work together and even though she's younger (61) she wants to retire really badly but can't as long as he needs her there.</p> <p>my parents are both in their early 60s and are starting to think about retiring or at least slowing down. especially my mom--she's a cancer survivor and it made her rethink her priorities a lot. when dh and i have kids i think they're going to retire and move to be closer to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250768 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:29:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 250768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents still work and I don't see them retiring for a while (they are 61 &amp; 58). MIL has never worked.

My parents are not but my dad is counting down the hours until he does (not for another couple of years though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250730 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:10:07 +0000 twodoghouse 250730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are really young so they're a long ways off from retiring. My mother-in-law is a CPA, but she hasn't worked full time since her boys were born. She still does a little bit of tax work each year. My father-in-law officially retired a few years ago, but he still does consulting and sits on the board of a few companies in Bermuda. Also, he has gotten really involved in running the family farms. So he's just about as busy as he was when he worked full time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-parentsils-retired#post-250729 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:08:42 +0000 Meridian 250729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: WOW, since their 40's?!
