Not working and being able to travel and pursue my activities and some volunteering sounds great. Aging alone, as a single gay guy who never had a relationship, kind of scares me, especially once I hit old age and lose my parents.

60

Am 55. Perhaps 60-62. I already feel exhausted from the unreasonable demands on my time from every direction. What do you think OP?

65-67. Depends how my portfolio looks at that time, as the past year performance definitely has set me back by 6-12 mo. Would consider transitioning to a part time role of some type earlier.

55 now. Will be 58 when I retire from the Army Reserve. Will be 70 when I retire overall.

58 or 59, when I know my youngest has enough to get thru college without more from me.

60. I’m ten years away and it suddenly seems frighteningly close.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
