I’m 77 still working full time. Love what I do (legal assistant), great people, great boss. Much of it has to do with my attitude toward my work m, colleagues, customers.
Why is this kid advising on retirement strategies when he's only just started shaving by the looks of him ? Many people on UA-cam chatting on subjects as an expert about things they don't know the first thing about. Unbelieveable
@@lyndawest923For many people, removing work = removing stress. Office politics. Bad bosses. Lazy coworkers. Ongoing staff reductions where YOU pick up the slack, etc.
I decided to try out a different topic this week as a break from exam preparation. I’ll be back with another video next week with a video related to improving your chances at med school admissions. Let me know what you think of it 😁
My plan has no retirement within it. I retired from the military pension #1 I work the federal justice system at 50 I can retire again #2 I plan to teach criminal justice at small school/university. Within that career you have holidays off, 2 weeks off during winter break, 2 weeks off during spring break, and 9 weeks off during the summer. I plan of taking trips and never
YOU may think you'll never retire, but your company may have other ideas. I was downsized out of my job at 67, along with a dozen other people all over 55. After my "involuntarily retired" I had a nervous breakdown and went to outpatient mental health treatment for quit awhile. I finally sold my condo and entered a seniors facility and have never been happier. I have a great community of friends and we visit together, eat together and just have fun. I also read and do blanket-making for foster kids. When I was working I couldn't trust a soul, and the backbiting and nastiness were ever-present. My job involved far too much boring and purposeless activity and I often came home too exhausted to have any kind of a life. I'm 75 today and eagerly looking forward to the rest of my life.
So glad you found happiness of a lifestyle that works for you! While I don’t have plans to retire for a very long time (I’m 60 now, healthy, active and Self-Employed), I agree that people are better off without high stress jobs. You’ve got to enjoy whatever you are doing!
I'm 60 and "retired" at 20 when I began to do all I loved to do .... and made money out of it. If working has been a torture for 40 years, then you made a huge mistake in the first place. What kind of strategy is to waste your best years doing something you are willing to stop doing?
Omgosh this is true I tried to retire and I’m board as shit I need to go back to work. It also ages you sitting around board all day long. No purpose to get up it’s horrible I’m going stir crazy and I have hobbies and lots of friends that still work.
I’m 49 and I would retire tomorrow if I could. I’m “retired” military but unfortunately it’s not enough to retire off of. I like the people I work with but I generally don’t like to be around people. The thought of waking up everyday and doing whatever I want to do without having to answer to a boss seems too good to be true. It seems like people who can retire whenever they want choose to work, and people who can’t retire have to work. Some of the people I work with are 70 years old and don’t have to work but they choose to. I don’t get it. I love traveling and my hobbies but because I have to work I don’t have the time to do whatever I want to do
Your video is excellent and I could not agree more. Don’t listen to the comments that say you are too young to have an opinion on this topic. Always remember it is easier to criticize than it is to produce!
Great video Dani! I'm sure you'll make a great doctor! I agree with you 100%! That's why after starting an LLC and continuing my sales career in its 55th year, when I was bumped out due to a private equity buyout, I wrote a book, published Networking Works, started a UA-cam channel (Boomer Ranger Ron), and then at 77, went back to work for Bass Pro Shops in the Tracker Boat division selling boats and ATVs part-time!
Dude... you are a student and you talk about retirement. You obviously haven't been in a workforce.... Kid, being retire doesn't mean you won't do anything - you will still do things that you love. Once retired, you have the FREEDOM to choose what you do and when to do.
Gonna have to agree with this one. Not everyone gets to have their "ikigai" as their main job; there isn't a market for it. Maybe we'll get to a future where not everyone needs to work, but even then there aren't that many people for whom their ikigai would be cleaning bathrooms. For those people, it means a lot to be able to envision a future where they have worked long enough, at something they don't love, and get a break from it. I think the biggest problem was setting retirement at r=65, rather than r=LifeExpectancy - 2 years. Would have kept it honest at least.
These videos who say you should work for the man for the rest of your life are full of it. I retired at 39 21 years ago. My biggest waste of time is watching videos like this one. I've never been so busy in my life but now I'm doing what ever I want, and now I wonder how I ever had time to work. So my advice, retire early, see your kids grow up, do the things you want to, be happy.
I don't plan on retiring but I'm gonna take life a bit easier for sure . I'm a 64 year old self employed carpenter and I always liked working but I don't work as hard as I did two years ago
Plan on retiring in two years at 58 and can't wait. Living my retirement life now, but ill be able to add an extra 8 hrs a day to it. Friends, youth, health and family are the way to go. It's going to be great! It's like that saying "Heaven on Earth" the thing is it might not look like anyone else's and that's ok! But to each his own, good luck.
I agree, but it is only if you have nothing to retire to. I retired last year from "Corporate America" & during my working years I just wanted out. It's truly a rat race. The dirtiest rat gets the cheese. It took about a year for me to figure what I wanted because now I have my freedom. Guess what? I just want more freedom. But now I can control the type of freedom I'll have and I control how I will achieve it.
I love being retired. I don't have to make anyone agree with my way of doing things. Think boss here. Life goes on and life is always a struggle. What fool thought it was something different?
This is absolutely brilliant never retire boredom loneliness isolation depression if you have no where to go your toast you spend all day saying what did I just do companies lick there chops knowing your stupid enough to leave listen to every word of this depression is the worst thing to have it’s a pain you never want to have
Great video. Here’s my story: - 20 years applied mathematician - 10 years management - 20 years software enginneer At age 74, temporarily unemployed due to project cancelation. Considering my options. Hope to find something new over the summer (As I write this, it’s early June.) Bottom line: Like and agree with your vid.
BS really I’d never advise people to just keep on working, we’ve been enslaved since childhood… take your retirement early and finally do the things you always wanted to do… no one ever at end of life says I wish I would have worked more…
Nice video, but setting Leonardo Da Vinci as an example for everyone to emulate is just ridiculous. Yes we can attempt to be more like a world class genius but very few can actually hold a candle to their brilliance or achievements. Geniuses by definition have enormous capabilities with which they can master many fields and be at fore-front of many fields. Most people cannot. Simple as that.
Nope. Happy to have retired at 62. It feels REAL NATURAL to me. You imply that retirees don't do anything all day and that is a poor assumption. I have a schedule, just not a "work" schedule. This sounds like a YOU problem.
I have never planned to retire. However, my work type will continue to evolve. There is no way that I could stand not doing meaningful work all day, every day. Humans are meant to be physically and psychologically engaged on a daily basis. It's the reason many people decline or even die soon after they retire.
don't agree. Never been happier being 24\7 with my little daughter during covid. Walking around with her, cooking, watching cartoons was everything that i wanted and never felt so good mentally and phisically.
20 something expounds on something 40 years into his future - should be the title of this vid. :) j/k , some valid points but get back to us after 40 years of working everyday
I plan to retire the day I die!
Retirement doesn't mean doing nothing. It means doing what you want to do instead of what you have to do - and it's awesome, by the way.
💯 truth!
How do most people get motivation to do things at all?
Factsss I agree I'm only 27 and I already think that way. Never retire especially when you do something you love/like.
Good luck with that over the next

It's likely the stress of your work environment. Remove the stressful environment, and your work would benefit you.

A 20 year old giving this advice 😅. Appreciate your optimism, but you have no clue what it’s like to be 60 with 40 years of constant work behind you.
Yeah he’s a bit out of touch with the older population, just because you have a degree doesn’t mean you know all
First year medical student.. he lost credibility for the subject.

Excellent points on retirement!
Everyone is different. Some people engage in exercise and other activities. Some people just don't want to work after working for most of their lives.

You’re describing financial freedom not retirement, he’s talking about retirement and never working again
What about when ur body can’t handle working anymore
Work in a job that uses your mind
