Retirement
 

Hey guys,

Has anybody considered retiring in the near future? Somebody asked if I was ready to retire anytime soon and to be quite honest, it never came across my mind. I'm at a comfortable point in my life where I can retire without any worries or interruptions to my lifestyle.

I'm on the fence about it and if I do commit to it, it'll be in a few months which is so close, yet so far. Any advice? Thanks. :)

how old are you?

I prefer not to publicly discuss my age.

if you retire though think about the work you miss out on

that's if you love your job though, otherwise you better fill your schedule with things to do otherwise you'll get bored fast relaxing

Hes retiring, not committing suicide.



You're not committing suicide, are you bcrdukes?

Umm...no. :rofl:

We have no choice but to assume that you are 65 then... ;)

dukes must have family money

Drug Dealer.

Trying to make a big decision to retire within a few months is rushing it. I'd say take a year and double check your plan for your retirement. You have to make sure all your financial matters are in order and you have something to keep yourself busy with all the extra time on your hands.

The two main complaints I get from people that I know who have retired is, missing the people they spent so much time working with, also known as spending too much time with the wife, and the myth that you don't spend as much money when you're retired. Don't forget that there is no income and all property taxes and car insurance still have to be paid. Your medical and dental, if you have it, will usually only last for a maximum of 1 year after the retirement date.

I tell everyone I want to retire but they laugh at me and say I'm not old enough. :okay:

A pipe dream for me. Like my father I'll probably work till I die unfortunately.

I ran across this article awhile ago. It applies to people in the US but the principles are still there.

Me too but that's if ppl will still hire me. With people living longer and longer and more and more people it is not easy to keep a job since the company could hire someone who is say 30 years younger than you, take a pay cut and have more energy to do the job............. Unless of coz you are the CEO or some big guys at the top.

people that say they dont wanna retire but wanna work cus they love that more? i hope youre single cus you can't convince me you rather work then spend time with your family/friends/parents. and if you chose your job over time with your family, i feel sorry for them. If you can retire and have the financial stability to do so..i'd say do it as fast as possible.

@alpha: "think about the work you missed on"? wtf? you serious? i'd quit my job asap if i could LOL

^ straight haha

how is it possible to get bored relaxing?! don't you have friends/family/girlfriend or wife to spend time with?! LOL
no sane person would consider working if they're wealthy as fuck .. :fuckthatshit:




unless ur a professional prostitute tester

I've heard a lot of the time when people retire, they lose their purpose and wither away.

Mind you the same goes for when a spouse dies.

Kevin O'Leary is wealthy as fuck and that guy is hustling all the time.

well how depressing is that

for me, I love going to the gym and keeping fit & healthy .. so I can just imagine if I were financially secure for the rest of my life with all the time in the world .. :fullofwin: trips all over the world with buddies, chasing girls, sight-seeing, and more :ahwow:

Retiring well before the age most people even start to think about retiring.

/hipster

i didnt make you feel THAT old did I?

As much as I'd like to be a drug dealer, unfortunately, I am not.

I have plenty of hobbies to keep me busy so this is of no concern. If anything, I'd be spending more time with my hobbies and more time with my family and lady friend. I'm not getting any younger and 2012 has been so far a roller coaster ride. I need to take care of myself and the people around me. The finances are of no concern. And no, it's not family money. If it were, I'd be a little spoiled bitch right now. I think Los Angeles is calling my name. :)

It sounds like your all for retiring. If you'd be able to take care of yourself until your dead then why not?

Oh so that's what this retirement thread was about :(
Dukes you're making me sad

I always thought bcrdukes is in his 30s... now I know to double that.

Then how about a more vague question; do you have white/grey hairs?
If you have a good paying job and like what you do, just keep doing it. Do it for a while longer and enjoy the rest of your life. If you hate your job and it makes you want to kill yourself, retire now.

Just my 2 cents from a stupid kid that doesn't know jack shit aka me.

:suspicious: because if you stop working you're going to get bored, that is if you don't have a lot of hobbies or activities to do or sick of your job

people that are millionaires and billionaires don't quit, they keep working because they enjoy making money and keep making their business/endeavour rise to a higher level
