    Yeah, the great majority of retired people can successfully not work anywhere.

        I know I will retire by 65 at the latest! Maybe work casual for our health authority here in the winter months.

          Don't jinks me! I'm hoping to retire at 62! Fingers crossed the stock market (in the USA) doesn't crash.

            According to the Life Insurance And Market Research Association (LIMRA), 69% of Americans retire by age 66.

              That stat prompted me to look our up...

              According to Statistics Canada, the average retirement age in Canada is just over 63 and a half years. For self-employed people, it's 68, and for federal employees, it's age 61 and a half years. Private sector employees tend to work almost to age 65.

                Funny retirement came here, been talking with two neighbors contemplating about it.

                One is 59 and quit his job of 22 years and started a new job.
                But he's thinking about going ahead and Starr receiving retirement from his old job?

                He said right now he could take the old jobs retirement and get $1400 month, or wait until 62 when it maxes out and get 1700? And not touch 401,457 until he wants?
                He told me if he takes it now, for three years it would be about forty grand...starting at 62 he'll never get it???

                        The guy that got me a job at my current shop 30 and counting years ago retired last year on April fools day at 59. A plumber by trade, he was planning to do small jobs for a few years until full benefits kicked in.

                            Now look up the average length of time people stay retired until they shuffle off the clogs. It worried me a bit for a while, then I decided not to care.
                            I'm still doing enough to keep me active and reasonably healthy, so should extend the time left.
                            At the time the first stats came out, it was mostly referring to people who'd been in a fairly manual job for 45+ years, then suddenly had nothing to do. About half of them were dead within three years.
                            Most of us aren't like that nowadays.

                              Why not?? YOU are the one that posted (post #51) about retirement ages. DB was merely giving his personal observation.
                              If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
