Retired folks, how long did you work

Me either. I've got just over 4 years left and will punch out at 54. Can't wait.

I'm 30 with no family. If I never marry, I'm done with this shite by 55. Make decent money and am saving most of it.

Quit working in my mid-late 40s. I left money on the table, but I couldn't be happier.

In a year and a half. 30 years in this occupation, will be 58 years old.

I retired at 80 this past December and plan on doing some traveling n...................

My husband retired after 32 years at age 54; he was a computer programmer.

Wife and I are 50. She will retire when all the kids are done with college in a little less than 3 years. I plan to sell my business and work less around 60 or 61. I love what I do, so doubt I’ll ever completely quit working.

And what did you do? Can’t imagine doing this till 65 but looking to get inspired

If not....save as much as possible and hold off on retirement until after this period of rapid inflation is over.

I graduated from college in 1965 and worked till I retired in 2002 at age 60.

Been retired now for 21 years.

Retired the first time at 67.5 years. Got called to come back three different times over the next couple of years but refused.

Got asked to assist another company that had lost their Engineer and with him went all access to their engineering database. Enjoyed the people and the challenges and stayed for seven years until leaving at age 77.

Shifted over to assisting my family members in our business but only lasted full time for about a year or so due to back problems.

At 86, I continue to do computer design work for them at home but I am getting tired of being under pressure so I may just have to tell them that they need to find someone else.

Definitely saying the heck with it today as it is my wife's and my 59th wedding anniversary today.
