Mid to Late 50s? What NW? Any SS, Pension? For those that did it already any regrets? |
62 early? I took the DRP |
I retired in mid 40s. I had worked very part time a decade before. I want to concentrate on my health/strength, my kids, friends, travel, and investments.
No pension, but there is an 'annuity'. NW is one million. It was my job that kept it from growing faster. I just recognized it. will take SS at 62. no tax expense no healthcare expense no college expense |
spouse working? |
I retired at 30. |
Sure you did. |
Does “still working but checked out and having a mental retirement posture” count? |
At work we call that “retired in place.” It’s a mocking reference to old plant equipment that has been replaced, and it’s barely used, but it’s not been removed because removal process takes many hours of engineering evaluations, etc. |
Happens at any age. |
40
Worked and saved every cent before that. |
It's quite quitting, right? |
Yeah people use different terms. To me “retired in place” is a boomer bashing phrase and quiet quitting is for younger checked out person but it maybe just me. |
Retired at 55 when I could collect my pension and get 70% of health insurance covered. Liquid NW about 2m. No regrets at all - my physical and mental health have improved exponentially. |
Late 50s. About 2.4 million in retirement accounts and other investments plus a pension. No regrets whatsoever. But I’ve always lived a fairly modest life. |
We’re a couple months away. Mid 50s. We calculated it no longer makes sense to work and we want to start 401k conversions to Roth. |
