I went to my friend's retirement party today and it got me thinking: at what point would you just not look for another job if yours ended? I'm 4+ years out from Medicare but if I make it another year I'd just hang it up if I were let go. If not I'd keep working. Not that I'm trying to lose my job!

My spouse and I both work for KP and will retire together. Neither one of us could stand to keep working if the other retired!

Retire as early as financially possible. As long as yiu have enough to live on and still enjoy life I say do it now!

We've been conditioned to work our lives away. Its one thing if you enjoy what you do but if its beating you up and you're financially set then I would run while you still can.

It's not beating me up, but I don't love it either. I've accepted this will be my last full time job though. My future holds only part time work I truly enjoy.

I'm doing it as soon as I possibly can. Even if that means I spend my retirement in a one bedroom apartment, I do not care. I'm ready to be done.

I hear you. My tastes run a bit bougy, unfortunately. Soon though!

Good for you! Me too.

I'm 49 and it would be a serious struggle to retire at this point, but we could really stretch out our savings and probably make it happen. I would feel much more comfortable to get another 5 years in first.

Yeah, 49 would be tough. But wouldn't it be great to own your time in your 50's?
