@MamaMoose: True. I think I would still be nervous to walk away 100% from the work force, but that's me.
-
@littlek: for me it will depend a lot on social security reform and how confident I feel in whatever reduced benefits are available when we hit that age.
-
I want to retire while I am still in good health, but realistically, I am not confident that I will be able to. I am just too financially nervous.
-
@looch: I'm the same way!
-
@littlek: I hate it, honestly. I don't know why, but I am soooo doom and gloom.
-
Truthfully, I have no idea! I feel like I'm too young to even think about it yet. I still feel like I've just recently entered in the workforce! I've only been working in my full time job for less than 5 years!
-
DH is supposed to be able to in his early 50s, so the plan is to retire together at that time so we can enjoy life!
-
@ILoveLettie: that's awesome! At the church DH and I used to go to it was 90% ran by old ladies..all retired and threw themselves into working at the church!
Ideally, i'd like to retire at about 4:00pm today.
Realistically, we'll probably retire when we're incredibly old seeing as how our retirement fund does not exist. Need to get on that.. -
@MrsTiz: That is what the church I just started working at is like too! Tiny tiny rural church 90% run by the most adorable little old retired ladies. Always a TON of food and "too many cooks in the kitchen" in the best possible way. It's a great environment to work in because there's always volunteers who want to help, and because I know that I'll probably be like them in half a century or so!

DH plans to retire at 65.
I am self employed and so far don't have a retirement plan.
-
Wow, lots of 50s responses making me jealous. I wonder if those are purely wants? I'd want to in my 50s too but I probably will be closer to 65. I'm saving but not with a particular goal in mind.
-
@lamariniere: @littlek: I feel the same way. I hope to never retire- because I hope to be doing work I enjoy as long as possible. Keeps me going; looking forward.
-
@Corduroy: haha same. I'd likely never be able to retire at 50!!
I'm not sure... I haven't even really started my career soo.... it'll be a long time. The upside of being a nurse, is that if I want to, I could teach it once I "outgrow" being in a hospital.
-
Never!
I'll always work, even if it's just a day or two a week. My 90 year old aunt works two days a week, drives, goes to the gym, etc. I want to be like her! -
I am also surprised by all the 50/55 retirement goals! I don't think I will ever fully retire. I love what I do, and hope that I can continue to do it for a long time. With that being said, I think my husband and I definitely want more flexibility when we're older.
