Retirement: When should one retire?

[angelone]

One of my favorite actors has retired from the gay porn business and this has got me thinking about my own retirement from work. I thought retirement is the result of working until 65 years old. But when I considered the cost-of-living my normal standard daily life, I found that retiring isn't as easy as I thought. My retirement pay isn't the same as what I bring in today and that could be a problem; unless I continue to work to makeup for the difference. QUESTION: When should one retire and what are the concerns one should consider before retiring?

if you have to sell your house and move into studio apartment, then you are not ready for retirement.
but seriously, if you have to give up the things you enjoy, then retirement is not your best option.
if you are young enough, you should build a fuck this fund that allows you to work when things become unbearable. other retirement funds other than social security should be counted when thinking about retirement.

*a fuck this fund that allows you to walk when things become unbearable.

In memoriam

Most people try to save money for their pension. The sad news is that 25% of us will die, before reaching the age of 65; see not cent back of their pension savings.

Live now, today!

My mother used to use an old saying: "Live each day as if it were your last, and plan each day as if you will live forever," Of course it is wise to have a nest egg for retirement, but take time to live while getting there.

Sweet Jesus, I am 64 and have 2 years to go. I have one suggestion. Do not make this decision on your own. Please do not think I am being egotistical I am not but I have a bookeeper; a stockbroker; a person who manages my pension at work; and a person who prepares me to retire on time by working with all these people so everything comes together at the same time. Frankly, these people have been with me a minimum of twenty to a max of thirty five years and they do this for a living. I trust them because they are each cross checked by the other. That is what I needed to do. Now retirement was an indicator of death until I took off about three weeks (somehow got thrown off Broke Straight Boys because I changed a credit card and Mark God Bless him got me back on so that will be the last tomato thrown at him by moi`) anyway the important thing was I was busier doing stuff and making a bucket list and now I cannot wait to move on from that job. It now longer became a career some time ago and I never realized it. So when all of the above come together and call and say "go home" they won't have to say it twice. Sorry I rambled but on this I know of what I speak. Hope it gets Bobbys attention (lol).

Very sound advice; it's important to know that you will be okay, not only financially, but emotionally! As far as Bobby, he may just take you up on that marriage proposal...there's planning "a head!"

Someone suggested moving somewhere cheap after retirement like Mexico or the Philippines. Dollars go further there and living is cheaper even the sex. My problem is I'm partial to the "other white meat" so I may have to import them from the states.
