[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Only 15% of people voluntarily retire The other 85% are forced due to physical problems/ailments or are fired at an age where nobody will hire them for the same kind of job (and they have enough saved to have an OK retirement…but not the retirement they wanted).[/quote] This. I'm mid-50s and my parents were forced out when they were my age. It was a shock to them, and as a result I saved enough $ so that it wouldn't be a shock to me. On top of that, I'm friggin' tired. I've been working since I was 12. Honestly, I'd love to take a year or so off and then re-evaluate, but agism is real, and getting hired in your 50s-60s is rare. I feel like I've got plenty to do - hobbies, kids, travel, 2 houses to take care of, old people to take care of, maybe future grandkids, etc. Upside: I'm set to retire. Downside: I have a scarcity mindset.[/quote]
