And here we slowly raise the age of retirement. Though it doesn’t matter much very often. My dad retired with 60 and died half a year later… What a waste. A life containing just work. He didn’t even know what to do with himself in that 6 month.
I retired with 35 or so, and can’t imagine working again. I got more hobbies than time and don’t know the meaning of the word boredom. Would do it all over again.
I do work voluntary stuff for sick people, that is way more fulfilling and meaningful.
How did you retire at 35…? Wtf
I was self-employed right after school, did well, pay no rent. I’m fortunate. But i also don’t need much except my one expensive hobby (gaming and smarthome). I’m also a cheap fuck who doesn’t need big houses or fancy cars or silly branded clothes.
Also: no kids… Biggest saver.
Same here. I’m in my early forties and retired. Small house, no kids, and we don’t carry debt beyond our mortgage, which will be paid off in 3 months. Not a fancy or flashy lifestyle by any means. It’s possible, it just takes sacrifice and living well below your means during your earning years.
Nah, I’d rather die.
I’m taking care of an elderly parent. I’ve had relatives who went to very nice care homes.
I’d also rather die. Especially because I don’t have kids who would be able to check up on me. The old are especially vulnerable.
if you’re working, you havent really “retired”
Good thing retirement is forever out of reach for our generation then.
