At what age do you plan to retire?

[BrilloPad]

I wanted to retire at 50 : the divorce cost me 20 years and kids 10 years.

And I will die at 65........

Make sure your ok then do some fashionable helping out to ease your concious about chasing the money for 20 odd years.

If your really wanted to do some good work there's plenty of low paid work doing that in health or social care or with the aid agencies or even the armed forces.

I invented something I like to call 'Retirement-DrawDown'

When I was young and fit I lounged around like a total bum for ten years. Now I will work till I drop, maybe 65 like you. So I sort of 'drew down' on my retirment, and what a jolly good idea it was too.

Why would I go into health or social care when my abilities could be beneficial in the sciences? Is research not valuable?

Life begins at 40
Possibly 41 due to the credit crunch...but I'll still be under 40.

[Cheshire Cat]

ideally, 45
realistically, 85

Depends what you define as retirement.
Don't think I'd ever be happy just hanging up my hat and watching TV all day long, or playing golf. I'd like to remain active (physically and mentally) well into old age, but I wouldn't want to be dependent on working for an income as an elderly person, I imagine that would be very knackering indeed.
So, make as much dough as I can whilst I'm young, plan for retirement wisely, hope to avoid some major financial meltdown co-inciding with my retirement, and possibly run a business part time into old age.

Life begins at 40

Yes, and it’s a bit worrying. All the forty year olds around here are fat, have double chins, wear beige clothing, have ugly wives, kids on drugs and own caravans.

Wasn't saying that, I was trying to point the hyprocisy of the following :

Yup, contributing to society in some meaningful way not driven by money is also my goal once financially free.

which a few posters seem to agree with.

Tazman : So very very wrong.
