how old will you retire from your job?

It is wonderful to hear from someone who appreciates an older boss. My hat's off to him for his "state of the union" talks that include you and your ideas. As for me, I retired 6 1/2 months after I turned 65. I would liked to have worked longer, but my husband wanted me at home. He is older than I and had already been retired for several years.

If it's possible, I want to retire earlier. Perhaps it's better for me to retire when I am 50 years. I have many things to do after my retirement and my schedule will be so full. Finally I can have my own time to do what I like. Working shouldn't be all parts of my life. I shall spend some time to do what I like. If I retire very late, I am afraid I can't have enough time to enjoy life. And that will be a big regret. I love China

As of right now, I love my job, it is an on-campus job. They let me study and do whatever I want on the computer while I work, which is such a plus. I love being a receptionist and they are starting to give me more responsibilities.

the retirement age is 60 in my company to male.55 to female.but to my knowledge,there are a little bit differences from different countries.that's nearly equal.i'm 25-year old this year,when am i gonna to retire?oh,come on,45-year later,that's too long.LOL.

Personally, I would like to be working till I am atleast 60 years of age. Then again, a part of me wants to work till I'm a 100. Just so I don't feel like a waste of skin.

It's interesting to hear your situation and point of view on working. I think it's a good outlook on work and life in general. Although I haven't thoroughly enjoyed the corporate jobs I've had for many years, I do however, realize the importance of working...not just for money for our well being. This probably sounds crazy to most people, but I truly think that people who retire early and don't do any kind of work, die sooner. Although a lot of us crave plenty of vacation and wished we had more time for our families...we were meant to do something...and not just for ourselves. By working, we help others, hopfully, and we help ourselves. Through work (not all I realize), we have some purpose. We weren't meant to lay around on a beach, doing nothing for the rest of our lives. With that said, I do think it's important to evaluate what we are doing in our jobs/works.

In my company the retirement age is 58. I would love gto work as long a sI can. it is my lifelinbe

WOW 82 years old and still going stong. I only wish I could do that. I had to quit working in 1999 and my health has been going down rapidily. I don't expect to be able to walk all that much longer but I just take each day as it comes. I should be in a much different place for a person of my age and yet I know of others younger and in worse shape. We're all different and here for different reasons.

Our retirement account took a major hit recently. So at this point we will be working for a long time. At one job or another. You never can tell what the future will bring. We aren't yet 40 so we have some time to figure things out. I'd rather stay a bit active anyway.

The way things look now I'll probably never retire. I'm only 57 but I have no choice but to keep on working because I have nothing put aside for retirement. Thats just how my life went. So its encouraging to know guys still work at 82. My father retired at 76.

Hi Rainegurl Yes, I do Even if someday I must delegate my job to my doughter or my son. I must keep stand behind her/him.

I think it as the case may be , I havn't graduate from school , but in my opinion , if I love my job I maybe work as long as i could and continue to enjoy my job , but if I don't like my job I will leave outright . That's my opinion , happy mylotting !

ill retire depending on how successful i get. if i end up gettin one of those average paid jobs then ill probably retire at 65. if i become a full-time big money maker than im goin to work till i get too old and dusty to move :)

I doubt that I will ever be able to retire. We had our children late and they will be in collage when we are in our sixties. Also, we have been unable to save because of a couple of bad realestate invetments an a business where we were a partner and got ripped off by one of the other partners. I am still trying various ways to make money and may be successful sooner or later but my day job may be what we rely on for the duration in which case I will be working until I drop. I guess there is nothing wrong with that as long as you like what you do.

I use to love my job and if the industry hadnt taken a nose dive i might have stayed in it for a bit longer BUT it did and I didnt..I've been retired now for almost 10 yrs..Would I want to work into my 80s (in a different line of work since mine was adult entertainment LOL)..if I REALLY enjoyed the job ya maybe...

I was 51 when I retired, but I got out because of the bit... woman who had become my supervisor. I know have a part time job to make ends meet.

Hi Rainegurl! In India the retirement age is 58. If my health provide me to work till that age I will work. And after that if we are home and working its good for the health and we will be strong enough otherwise the retirement will make one sickness. Some people jooin some trust and other society work after the retirement. How long I can can work I dont know lets see . Happy posting and have a nice day.

Fist of all I don't like my job as a cop, high pressure, low salary, health overdraft. I want to retire at 30 though I am alreay 29, which is impossible obviously. After retirement I'd like to do something as my will.

If I really loved my job I would work it until I was absolutely unable. I know some peopel who work at a company so long that they can pretty much take off 2 months of vacation if they wanted to. That, along with benefits, PTO, sick leave etc you could have a nice setup.
