[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a 50-something, I’m finding the ultimate divide is when you start seeing people announcing retirements in their 50s. They go on to sit on boards or serve as trustees of institutions. Some of it may be requiring different levels of money to feel comfortable retiring, but[b] being able to leave the corporate grind in your 50s is winning[/b].[/quote]

This. Even better when you're in your fourties.

THis is my goal and I'm in my mid twenties.

There is different between CHOOSING to work and HAVING to work hard.[/quote]

LOL, I was like you in my 20s and made more money in late 20s early 30s than I do now at middle age.  I thought I'd retire at 40 with a lot of money.   After having kids balancing career and taking business risks became exponentially more difficult.  If you want to retire at 40, then don't have kids, or have only one and some family around.  Seriously.  Another way is to have one spouse lean in and be dedicated to making it big, while the other spouse stays home taking care of family and kids.  I feel like separation of duties and not having to balance both career and childcare and homemaking leads to better outcomes for the family overall (granted that parents stay together). [/quote]

I plan on starting a business. and unlike most women, I don’t center my life around men and marriage. I don’t care about being picked. Motherhood won’t happen until i’m AT LEAST 38. [/quote]

“Unlike most women” - giving away your immaturity right there.
