Ideal Age to Retire

For me the ideal age to retire would be 50. I married early, have been working since 23, do not have a very successful career so money is always a problem and I have never been able to do everything I wanted. So I am now saving all I can both for our son and ourselves. When I am 50, my son should be around 25 and then hopefully I will have my hands free. I don’t want to work anymore then. I want to relax at home, take a nap when I want to, do some gardening, fool around with the computer, watch TV, read a book, sunbath in my balcony in the early afternoon, go for a vacation whenever I want to…idle dreams maybe, dunno if they will ever come true, but if everything goes OK, then I would like to retire from work at 50.

I plan to work as long as possible. I have seen many people retire and then their health decline rapidly. it probably comes down to activity, but I tend to be lazy anyway.

I think age doesn't matter,it is your capabilities to work and work hard for it.If you are 65 or 70 and you can work like anybody younger than you,and provided your employer wants you to work,then do it.If you retire at the age of 50 or 50 plus,you will weaken considerably.I resign to my work at the age of 41 and after 3 to 4 months without anything to do i became sickly,so i worked again and i regain my strenght.

Well for me, as soon as my kids finished their studies and have their own jobs already. When we have enough resources for me and my wife to live and enjoy life together... no matter if we're on 40's... I would retire. Life is too short and the moment that we are given enough chance to live and enjoy our life... then no time should be wasted. Life is beautiful and a span of life is not enough to see its beauty.

The ideal age to retire is always 60 but if you can still work and you are use to it then you think you can keep it going like a bunny go for it

Now or asap, I really don't like working I've had too many bad experiences of being underpaid and exploited and this is in the uk ffs.

i want to retire early, i dont want to work for the rest of my life, that's why i'm searching for something that would earn me good income so i can retire early and live my life happy...but it's really hard to find such great opportunity so i should really work hard to reach my goal.

hmmm i want to retire at the age of 30...i think i am ready to retire at that age.i started working at the age of 18.and i have 3 jobs now.got my own house,business and savings..and by that time,i'm ready to have kids,let's say i want to take good care of them personally,have time with them 24/7 (but i still have not found my mr right).not bad huh?

I think it depends on when I feel I could do - for exampl if I had to work then I would say by about the age of 65 latest but if I was able to get some money saved to have an early retirement then I would say about 55. x
