- I invested in a retirement plan with ROI company and I'm very happy with the results. They offer great returns and excellent customer service.

I will never retire. I think retirement is a death knell... I am self-employed, love what I do, can arrange my own hours, choose my clients and up or downscale depending on what I am going through. I'm recovering from a back injury right now, so I only work remotely. No problem. I cut my hours by half. No problem. Once I feel better, I advertise amd work more again. Why would I want to change that ever or stop doing this? It keeps me and my mind active, gives me purpose, I do something useful that people actually need, so I feel that I make a (small) difference in the world. Why would I ever want to stop?

On my first day of work, I was planning for my retirement. At 49 years old I've accomplished my goal!

It's interesting to have heard some Baby Boomers voice criticisms of the career paths of Millennials (delayed leadership roles and achievement markers, unconventional career paths), yet there's no acknowledgement for the role their choices make in the larger business ecosystem. It's wonderful that seniors are choosing to stay active and dedicated to their passions. But I do wonder what affect this will have if we delay younger workers (and by this I mean Gen X and older Millennials) moving up into these leadership roles. There is a risk that newer generations never gain these experience opportunities. In the long run, this could massively harm businesses and organizations when all of that leadership experience and institutional knowledge is loss within a short time frame. I hope organizations are looking for ways to apprentice younger workers under the guidance of boomer-age leaders. Gen X and Millennials have a great deal to bring to leadership (e.g. tech savvy, diverse perspectives) but likewise would benefit from the experience of their Baby Boomer predecessors.

People want to believe they want to keep working, but the truth is they have to so they can pay the bills. When you retire properly you have tons of free time and need even more money to make the best of that free time.

This is undoubtedly the case for some... not so for others. I would presume that an old man who is a dentist- generally reaches age of retirement with plenty of money, but if he decided that he didn't want to retire... it would be because he would miss the daily routine, would be allowing a tremendous skill set to go to waste, and because he'd have to say goodbye to patients that he'd grown to have a personal bond with. He might work fewer hours, and stop taking on new patients, but he'd continue to work if he wanted to work. Some people don't really want to retire because they know that retirement kills.

Everyone has to ask himself or herself - what you want to do after you retire (of course, you have enough retirement funds to last thru your natural age - that's another subject.) Everyone has to ask himself or herself - how long you will live? (dumb question , no one will ever know. Use how long your parent live? US average life expectancy as a guidance). Exception always exists but ... My case is my own personality - I can not stand that I have nothing to do all day. I am 68 and too late to establish a so call - "hobby- you love to do all day long. also for the next 10, 20 or 30 years" As long as I am physical capable and my brain allow me to work, I will choose to work until I drop dead. Plus I am able to handle my current job well.

Some thoughts. Sample size is small and thus I disregard it. I suspect most are just scared. There are many great YT channels dedicated to retirement. Holy Schmidt. Joe Kuhn. Rob Berg. Most are clear that retirement is a different chapter in life. It requires a plan that is well beyond finance, healthcare, trusts, and expensive trips. As Joe Kuhn shares, you have to retire "to" something, not retire "from" something. My suspicion is that many of us have no identity or self-esteem beyond our work. Without your job, you fear you are nothing. That belief is horsesh*t but unfortunately common. If you think you are indispensable to your clients, HAH! The cemetery is chock full of indispensable people. You've won. Don't turn your back on possibly your best chapter. You only have so many "go-go" years before nature slows you down. Jot down YOUR wish list. Check your finances. Go play. In whatever form it brings you true joy. Now. Don't wait a year. Take it one year at a time. You will thank me, as I have thanked others.

If you like what you do, own your own business...why retire; if you sit down, do nothing and become physically ill, then it's all over.

It's a question of can and can't and not want and don't want. It's not voluntary. 🤦‍♀
