I want to retire at 65 or when my asset is $5m.
what this guy said
is your asset goal achievable before 65? Good luck on ya. I am of the same ilk, except am targeting 60. Was targeting 35, then 40, then 45, then 59.5. Now, 60.
My Hubby retired April 1st, 2024 at 68 years, but started taking his SSI at 66-1/4 years.
He waited till I was able to get my SSI at 66-1/2 years, in April 2024 before retiring.
We are lucky to manage on the SSI since we have had the house paid off years ago.
I basically retired in 2003 since my parents were aging and needed lots of help.
Alzheimer/Dementia plus more got them, …. Glad I was there for them.
Retired at 52 then at 70 – doing volunteer work till the right part time job comes up
2020 at 62 wasn’t going to until 65, but that thing happened.
I sold my Diesel Truck Smoke Testing business in 2020 at age 74 after retiring from PG&E in 2003 after 14 years in management with small pension of $800 per month. Wife retired from AAA in 2019. We love retirement, and just take it easy now. Plenty of time for Car Shows and visiting grandkids in SoCal.
Retired at 70, worked 45 years.

Last 15+ years did nothing but upgrade projects, replacing hardware
with newer products and troubleshooting. They even gave me bosses
and engineers for my entertainment.

Tell your kids to be a union electrician, and strive to work
for a company with a defined pension plan. Not only will they
have a skill set that is always in demand, they can get a job
anywhere in the world.In retirement they will likely, between
Social Security and company pension, end up making more
per month retired than they did working.

Retired twice. The first time was after 20 years as a machinist. Then I went
back to school and got my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and worked
another 20 years as an RN. Now I do a little volunteering a few times a month
at the Children’s Hospital in Oakland entertaining the kids and bringing a smile
to their faces. When I’m not doing that, I enjoy working on cars and making
them go a little faster.
Retiring in 3 months at 67. I am done. I’ll have a pension, retirement accounts and I’ll start SS at 70.
I will prolly never retire. My grandmother retired at 65, but she was sitting at home bored outta her mind, so she went back to work. Worked til she was 87. I will prolly do the same.
I was in the right place at the right time to retire at 56, one of the best things that ever happened to me!
58 and never looked back. Best Christmas present I ever gave myself. Now I volunteer with several organizations. I’m enjoy find new creative outlets and travel.
Don’t worry about money. I found out years ago when I bought a car I had more than I thought and bills get paid if I didn’t nickel and dime on crap impulse purchases. Well the car was an impulse but it was useful
Covid happened and ended at 62. My life had become very complicated with mom and a rental overrun with a gang, so I retired. Went back to work late 2024 and am retiring again this month. This time it is a choice not a necessity.
