A Poll: Retirement Ages And Destinations

[jenks]

In 5 years and a few days. I'll be 62. Wife is nagging me now to pull the pin, but I like the work so I'm staying. It's going to be Northern Michigan or the Upper Peninsula for us.

My advice. If you do not like what you are doing, figure out what you would like to do and make it happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Similar to what my Grandpa says;

 

"Find something you love to do, figure out a way to make money doing it and you'll never have to work a day in your life." That philosophy has helped me get where I am today.

 

Thanks Grandpa!

Here's something a not so wise man once told me:

 

Find a hobby that you can make money at, quit your job when your hobby starts to make more than your job and do that, then find a new hobby...

 

Personally, I plan on winning the lottery then doing nothing but flyfishing for the rest of my life....just gotta convince the lottery board to fund my retirement...

Nice reply Tom Smith. Jenks, you've got the right idea. The UP is only 90 minutes from here and it's great. Too bad my wife would rather go 30 hours south (AZ) instead.

A true story similar to one above...A guy who lived just a few miles from me proudly went to the mail box to get his first official pension check. He then had a heart attack and died before he got back to the house. WOW.

With a 1 year old and a 3 year old, I just want to play outside for the next 20 years, then concentrate on work.

 

I have goals...BUT...Don't spend so much time making a living that you forget to have a life.

 

Good luck to all,

ScottyB

Great replys all of you...

 

Myself ? My daughter will be a freshman this fall, so I have 4 more years dedicated to staying in Lodi to see her through high school. After that, who knows. I'm still young at heart.

I'll retire when somebody attempts to pry the Mazak from my cold dead hands.

 

I just know that some celebrity has ripped me on this one.

Being in business for myself in this trade is retirement. Everyday is exciting. I'd be bored playing golf and fishing.

I'm heading to northern Michigan also. I bought my retirement home in april I just hope I can get it fixed up in the next 21 years.

[RStuart]

I don't think I will ever retire. I can not stand to not work. Especially in the type of work that I do. I am not happy doing anything else. And it seems as though everyone I know that has retired dies a few years after. I love my job and I will keep doing it until my company makes me stop!

[chris m]

You know, Dave, I've wondered for years what the last word in that line was...

 

Thanks, ..again
