    My hubby is retiring at the end of the summer from 29 years of public safety , we are very excited for the next chapter! ( We are 50 ). His job is very physically and mentally taxing, so it will be a relief to have a change of pace. we will both continue to work part time though for extra income. He will be getting a pension, which is pretty uncommon nowadays, which is very helpful.

    Hubby was retired for 10yrs before I met full retirement age. I went back and forth whether to stop working. We went on a 3 day trip to Nauvoo, Il. As I stood at the bank of the Mississipi river, the thought came to me that it was time. I accepted the prompting and never regretted it. No debt and money in the bank so we are ok.❤

    I'm 69 and when I was your age I was working and felt great. Now I like to work on little projects of my own but under no circumstances I would work again. I retired early at 63 and to me was the best decision I've made. I don't have a lot of money but I also don't have to deal with people and schedules.

The Retirement Age differs from country to country. In mine it is 62. In some it is 60, in some 70. Over the years it has changed too,been pushed back. Used to be 55 in my dad's time.

      I don't doubt the aspects you shared however it sounds that you are the income earner in your household, therefore you have to work.
      Many UA-cam channels except for a few have been transparent about the UA-cam earnings. You most likely earn quite a bit. Producing videos daily..
      If you should decide to "retire ' at 67, regardless if you continue to work, social security will deduct from your earnings. There's no way around it.
      At age 65, you will have to pay Medicare, there's no way around it, unless you opt out. In order to do that,you financially have to prove full medical coverage by your own means
      financially.
      So in essence, You have to work and it's an added benefit that you enjoy the three avenues of revenue.
      Let's be realistic, more and more have to work beyond what age they thought they would.
      Please don't omit this. It helps many when you are transparent above what you think and feel.

      This is why they work non-stop: "Many Amish practice a work-based relationship with God, meaning that they view their good work as earning favor with God. They feel that if they have more good works outweighing the bad, God will allow them into heaven." This is from Amish Baskets blog website.

    Sometimes the stories of our lives can take an unexpected turn through no fault of our own. When people consider what their future looks like, it may be very different than what we envisioned it would be due to disability, job loss, downsizing, etc. Some people think that they will never retire, but when things change, they don't have a choice. That's the retirement reality for many.

There's no way I can physically work at age 72. Maybe part-time from home; but some days not even that. What many people don't realize is how many doctors' visits there are for even relatively healthy seniors. Now that we'll be caring for a more elderly person in our home, we'll have appointments practically every day, lol. Stay healthy! Love to all, Linda 💕

    I "retired" from my office job at 30 to be a SAHM and bc I was burntout and miserable w no purpose. Took a year off, not really, started a Master's program but I'm a nerd and I LOVED going back to school. Classes were in the evening and I loved being home w my two children, cooking, cleaning, reading, watching youtube. However, I was THRILLED when I was asked to do my first freelance gig a year later. I think taking a year or two break after working full time is important for resetting our body and soul. Then we can attract what we enjoy doing.

On the flip side, older folks with great work pensions should retire to make room for the younger generations to fill. If you don't need the money, there's plenty of part time jobs & things that can be done to keep busy. Our minimum wage here is now $17.20 an hour.

    We moved to an urban area to give ourselves a lot more outdoor space that we are using for a massive garden. We are selling our excess produce for a small income, and producing all that we can eat of many vegetables. ( green beans, tomato's, peppers, squash, melons, ground cherries, tomatillo, greens, herbs, radish, turnip, giant leeks, sweet potato, sunflower seeds) and at least some of many others like garlic, potato, onions and shallots.
    Why? One reason is we are looking towards retirement. We are comfortable, but we have watched family members retire, sit on the couch watch TV all day and basically just stop doing anything.
    When you stop using your brain and body you eventually get sick and die. I'm not saying that being engaged in meaningful guarantees a long life, but it does help make the most of what you have. A moving body is a healthier body. The same goes for the mind. Use it or lose it.

Mastanamma, with the help of her family members, showcased traditional Indian recipes and cooking techniques on her channel. Her videos gained a large following due to her unique cooking style and charming personality.
    Mastanamma's channel became very popular, amassing millions of views and a substantial subscriber base. She passed away in 2018, but her videos remain a testament to her legacy and the connection she made with people around the world through her love of cooking.

    I'm sure I've commented this before. I heard it once and it stuck with me. 60s are the go-go years, 65 is slow-go years and 70s are the no-go years. That was in terms of activity and travel. The description of aging in the later years. I've seen it to be true with people I've known. I believe in supernatural health though. Meaning that God supplies our strength and health apart from normal aging in the natural. I pray he gives you a long productive life and the desires of your heart Dawn!

      My husband and I have talked about this. I want to be able to enjoy our retirement years in our late 50s into our 60s, travel etc. By the late 60s/early 70s, most people are slowing down. They may have some health issues or are dealing with mobility issues or chronic pain with makes travel or enjoying hobbies difficult.
      My own parents took a noticeable downhill turn around 70 and by 75 were moving out of their home into a care facility. Their health fell off a cliff in their 70s, even though they were healthy and extremely active people up until that point. I know each person is different and will age at a different pace. There was no way my parents would have been able to work at that stage in their life. Luckily, they had retired and had traveled the world and had done all their retirement bucket list before that point. For us personally, we have planned to fully retire by 58. After working for 35 years in corporate America, we will run and never look back!

      @@penelopeprimrose90 Wow! That would be amazing to be able to retire at 58. Congratulations! I'm glad your parents got their bucket list before aging and health concerns limited that. I've seen a number of healthy active people decline quickly around the age of 70. When you think about it, we have a short life with only 365 days in a year.

    Five reasons you can't retire: Number one reason is living in an HOA*. 2. Mortgage, 3. property tax, 4. children in university, 5. no pension. Good reasons to not retire: You have a mission in life, You're still productive, such as artists. So, good health and people who need you to keep doing what you do. But remember it's important to retire TO something, not from something. If you lack purpose, you'll wane away. That's why people used to die within two years of retirement.
    *HOAs are worse than vampires for sucking the life's blood out of you. They are the most likely to call a homeowner a squatter, and all the new squatter laws will give them even more power for doing so.

    I think working at something that you enjoy that you can do on your own terms is a good choice. Having a physically or emotionally taxing job with a lot of deadlines and stress and feeling like there is no way out, is a whole other thing. Having a side gig, hobbies, volunteering, time with friends and family. I think that sounds like a lovely retirement. Unfortunately, many people do not have the energy and stamina once they hit their 60s and beyond. Age has a funny way of creeping up on us! I look forward to no work in retirement! But I hope to keep busy with hobbies and some travel.

    Best to have a plan just in case. I had to leave nursing at 53 after a major spine surgery left me with nerve damage in one leg. When my husband was 57 he had a work injury which left him in a leg brace and a lot of hardware in his neck. He did manual labor, so that was the end for him. We didn’t plan to retire till age 66. Have a plan. We manage, but we certainly don’t have the funds we planned. I had no pension. His is minimal. It is what it is.

    I admire your creativity and attitude! My only suggestion for this video is when you consider retiring take a hard look at your tax situation. Now, I think that Texas doesn't have a personal state income tax (correct me on that, please), but if you continue to earn above a certain amount after you retire you might get thrown into a higher tax bracket. This is exactly what happened to my friend -- like you, she just couldn't imagine not working. But as she approached age 65 she got some good advice from a CPA -- working would actually COST her more in taxes! Now, I'm just sharing this anecdotally -- I am certainly not a tax professional, AT ALL. Just food for thought. Cheers!

    So what is your plan for if a health issue prevents you from continuing to work?

    I appreciate everyone's optimism about working and heavy gardening in old age. But what's your fallback? Expect your grown children to take care of you? I'm in that situation. Taking care of mom in her 80s is preventing me from providing for my old age. No children to fall back on. Just hoping that I don't live to 80.
