[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 62 and in consulting. Oddly age has been an asset in my business, which is expertise/experience based. I’ve been doing this for a while though, and have been with my current company for almost 15 years. I plan to retire in the next 3-5 years. [/quote]

I am in my mid-60s as a consultant. My age and experience has been an asset. I don't want to be the CEO or COO any longer, which I make clear, and am consulting for younger executive teams of midsized companies. I make sure I stay current not only in my area of expertise, but on current events. I work out and am fit. I don't try to dress like I'm decades younger, but I dress well.

I "retired" after a liquidity event, but my social group and wife were/are still active in their careers, my kids are all busy in their own careers and kids, though we see them regularly, and I enjoy working. So when someone asked if I would help them out with something, my new chapter began and has grown. I keep saying just one more year, but I'm enjoying myself.

If you have some expertise in an area and a network that can either provide you with introductions or need help, it is a great later in life opportunity for those who aren't ready to retire. [/quote]

Executives at 60 is a totally different thing than regular workers [/quote]
