[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing people miss is a lot of men have SAHM wives who run house, plan activities and the man works. The man once retired has no purpose at home and now no job.

Add in if someone like me who enjoys his job a lot, it is fairly easy and I am well paid I am in. I rush to retire.

And volunteering is free. I rather work and get paid. And once I hit 63 was point work stress disappeared. Meaning I have enough to retire so if laid off will get severance and unemployment and could retire or even look
Another job if I want. But difference is I won’t be stressed.

I will plan on working till 67 and newsflash that is normal retirement age. But at 67 if job still easy and get paid will stay till 70 if blessed with health. I WFH three days a week and get a months vacation and 10 holidays. I only go to office on average 100 days a year so I am home 265 days a year.

Now if it was 2019 when I was in person 5 days a week from 830 am to 630 pm I might retire today.

BTW young people are kinda dumb, 1/2 of my mgt team at work is old enough to retire. But when we went to only two days in office they are hanging on.

Some make $25,000 a month for coming to office 8 days a month they will die at work.

Except with volunteering you choose your hours and don't take work with you once you leave.  For most people in their 50s+, their job is all consuming and it often isn't just 8 hour days.  And they certainly are working their asses off even if "not in the physical office".  So retirement is a mental break.
