What age do you plan on retiring at?

Fccwontletmebe

Myself personally I can't see myself working past 45 and live off my savings.

Do a bit of contracting every so often when I feel like it.

Have you told your mother yet ? she was hoping to turn your room into a walk in wardrobe

As soon as financially possible, hopefully between 55-60.

With my luck I'll be wheeled out

I'm an only child so will inherit the house so not bothering with a mortgage, Was thinking this over the last few weeks. Currently paying 300 for a room in rent with friends so yea I'll be fine! I don't need a mortgage.

Depends on your job.

Good job - 40, 50

Everybody else - never probably if we continue on as we are.

You have contradicted yourself a few times on this

Explain please. I retired at 54 and I'm now 76 as of last weekend.

If everything goes well, tomorrow is my last day

voldejoie

Current employment contract says 60, ideally if I'm somehow in the same job I'd go a bit earlier. I think the best case scenario is probably 55!

Hope it's just your last day AT WORK:p

Best of luck and enjoy it.

Aiming for mid 50s from the job (teaching). Will continue with my other work (which doesn’t feel like work at all, and pays much better than teaching) though, on my own terms. Will continue to invest until my pensions kick in at 65. Will consider further then. Probably stay working 10 or so hours a week. Important to keep busy!

Never if I can avoid it. I need to be focused and work on something, money is a great but secondary bonus. Turns out all of my friends would be of the same mind. Though none work in corporate, or "proper" jobs, or as employees. Water finding its own level I suppose.

I plan on dropping dead the day before I turn 68 as it's the only way I will be able to afford retirement.

Jenneke87

I hope at 65, although the retirement age in my country for my generation is now set at 70...:(. So every month I put money aside towards my retirement, should I be lucky enough to make it.

Ubbquittious

Retirement will be seen as a quaint notion in another few decades. The age for it will be up to 150 if its not abolished completely

Asitis2019

The likelihood is that with automation and robotics we will all be retiring early...or being made redundant. It is scary how fast technology is advancing

I see Srameen has retired from boards too.

What age are your ma and da? People are living a lot longer and they could potentially love until late 80s early 90s. Also dont forget fair deal schemes etc. Are you going to look after them in old age? You havent thought this out.

I hope I can love until my 90s:cool:

I'm 24 and I'm maybe a bit naive, but I don't see myself retiring. I'd be bored without something to do!

Technically I'm retired now at 40.
I'm on invalidity pension and recently resigned fully from my position after prolonged sick leave.

Luckily I am in a position where I'm not going to be in financial hardship due to my career hitting the kibosh.:)

Have taken the opportunity to return to Uni and may yet ride a new career wave yet tho.

Doesn't matter what he or she says they are, or have done. It is fantasy land here and we can be anyone we want to be. S/he may have been totally genuine.

No one can prove anything really.

Dunno, but I'm only 27. Bought an apartment with the woman a few years back so the idea once that's paid off, it can be used as a brick and mortar pension.

All I did was point out a contradiction. I feel really bad that he has left.

I really enjoyed his posts and actually read them regularly. I hope my contradiction post wasn't the reason he left.

Ah look, if you want to present a different version of reality here, fair enough. Unfortunately, if you're not careful you will eventually slip up.

I wouldn't read too much into it if I were you.

I like my work, like the people I work with and would class many as friends so tbh I'd like to keep working until I'm about 60 and then look at my options. I may even switch to some part time or consultancy type role where I choose my own hours and can take months off if I like.

I think I'd be bored if I retired too young and even with a decent pension I'd still have to be careful of the spending so that wouldn't be so much fun.

Now of course if I have a massive windfall on the Euromillions type level, then I would happily retired tomorrow and travel the world in luxury for the rest of my life

biko

At 65.
I will have a very comfortable retirement.










If I die after a year.

Beasty

Recently dropped to 4 days a week. When I'm 60 I'll go down to 1 day a week for a couple of years. Then I'm going to start living it up and enjoying myself....

Spanish Eyes

The quiz on oulfellas and oulwans will soon be won by someone else now that Srameen has gone to Reddit or wherever.

Honestly if that poster is gone it was very quick wasn't it. Most other posters wouldn't give a hoot. We are probably replying to who knows who every time anyway.

Is Srameen actually gone?

I retired early, 56, and took up some part-time and some voluntary work.
Sometimes you’d wonder how you had the time to work full time. I don’t work Tuesdays and Thursdays though and play golf Tue, Thur and Sun.

We’re only here for a short time so we should enjoy it all when we can.

This is a good philosophy

When I do retire, I would like to be as active as possible. A lot of people go back and do degrees.

I can go at 60, but have no intention of it. I've watched too many vital people retire and either lose vitality or become ill or die suddenly. Currently I must retire at 68, giving me 25 years and I'm fine with that.

If something should happen to me in the meantime, I'm making sure to experience the world with chunks of time off built into my work now, while I'm fit, healthy and resourced.

Strumms

Regardless of my finances I’m not working a day past 60... retire earlier if possible.

I want to enjoy life at that stage in good health, able to enjoy every aspect of my interests, travel, fitness, music and being active and full of energy, rather than creeping towards the grave in dodgy health with a bank balance being emptied by medical bills etc....

I worked full time from I was 17. Have a smallish pension from it. When I quit I took on part time work so I wouldn’t be bored, 4 hours from 9 to 1 on Mon, We’d and Fri. I work on a voluntary basis too with two organisations.

Keeps my mind active and I get a nice little sum from my part time work to boost my pension. Lots of time to enjoy life and do a bit of traveling as well.

53 hopefully, in 9 years time!
But I'll find something else to keep myself occupied.... Maybe an overseas job or something.......

I will retire hopefully the day before I die.

I have no intention of giving up work and going senile.

It is quite likely those of us under 50 will have jobs after we retire due to the pensions crisis
