[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. My sister thought she would work into her 60s - she did and passed at 67. Many such cases among family and friends. Also I see a lot of my patients deteriorate in health (some of you will recognize my posts) in their 60s. It's sudden. No dog in this fight. But think twice before making any decision and don't count on continued good health even if you are hale and hearty in your 40s or 50s.[/quote]

Your point being what?  Don't work any longer than you have to?  [/quote]

I am wondering the same thing. There is no one size fits all here. It seems everyone is giving advice solely based on their own lens. To be expected, yes, but most stating as if it is fact across the board.[/quote]

NP. The PP was sharing his experience, not directing you to stop working at a certain age.  Why getting all prickly??  Chill, dudes.. [/quote]

Seriously...if you don’t what they are saying, you never will. Many people are fixated with a random number, that they think they will need so they can retire, they chase that number and retire years later than they could have and then die early into retirement. Read several posts on DCUM and a couple even on this thread where someone said yeah we did the numbers and they look good or this expert told us we can but, we don’t think so. Keep working if you enjoy working and don’t have stress or have stress due to work but still want to. Just don’t lie to yourselves (or do if that is what you do :).

I never get up in arms against someone giving advice where it is not benefiting them, their wisdom could help me. I appreciate that they took the time to give it. Sometimes the manner may be a little brusque but then again DCUM takes umbrage to parents giving advice (I have been on and off here for a decade).
