When is everyone planning on retiring

Barney

Just thinking about this tonight ...the kids are grew up and house paid for but still going to work 
I was thinking of just playing and upping my  lessons for my income ..does anyone make enough to live off doing this...

Retiring might be a luxury many people will not have.

I'm taking early retirement on the 23 December. House is paid off and kids are grown up.

I should be OK on my company pension which I've paid into for over 40 years. If not I'll look for odd jobs, preferably related to music so I might be able to finally claim to be a professional musician

I'll be dead before I get chance to retire.

I've been paying pension contributions since I was 25. I hope to be able to retire when I'm 60 (5 years time). My financial adviser says if I do then my money will run out when I'm 85. I don't think I'll give a fuck about the future, or what happens to me by then!

I'm good to go.

Rock'n'roll !

I'll never retire in the conventional sense- I plan on continuing with my guitar building & repairing plus some gigging as a guitarist, bassist & drummer until I can't do it any longer.

I actually like my job and would do a half week for some time. 

Alnico

I did.
Loving every minute of it after 25 years on the road in a truck.

New band next year, new perspective on life and feeling great about it.
We don't have much money but we love the life we have and we're pretty much stable now, will easily be by Christmas.

I don't miss the alarm clock at all in fact i normally have so much to do i often wonder where i ever found the time to work !

I *Know* i didn't need to go through it as long as i did and now i look back,..........well there's no point doing that is there?
It's been a big mind shift but now i'm here i love it, wouldn't change this for anything.

I've got 13 years before I can retire at 60. I'll have a full NHS pension which I hope will allow me to enjoy my later years. I've got no real assets at the moment after my marriage break up last year but at this point in time I don't owe a bean to anybody and plan to keep it that way. It's too expensive for me to buy in Surrey on my own so my future plan is to move back to the North East and I may be able to buy a little place for myself.

By coincidence I had a look at my projected pension figures last week and the successive government cuts have reduced it from a figure I could have managed on if I left now to where I have to work til I'm 72 to match the old deal.

I am rich beyond belief, I'II never retire, I*'II just die

Bleeeding the liver on some untermench human is completely rational behavior.  This is perfect humanity and I'II tear down anyone who says it's not, because it is.  Fuck your fellow human up man,  fuck them up.  Fuck them up.

Sambostar

Yeah right.

I'll never get the chance. Even if I get a mortgage I'll never pay it off, and I kind of need a job to begin with.

I feel like I already have. Been redundant month and a half, pottering about the house and drinking til the small hours.
Retirement sucks!

Retired at 55, went back a day later part time.........awesome!

And paid off the Mortgage!.....

I should be OK to go, either way (!), at around 69-70 when the mortgage is paid off.

1 kid wants to be an architect and the other wants to go to veterinary school.

So I'm never retiring.

Sporky

No idea. One of my pensions had an astoundingly good year so I won't be penniless, but I quite like working.
