Ha! Not quite as bad as you, but had kids when I was 40 so expect to work until 65-70 at least.

When do you think you'll reach puberty?

What were you lot thinking, never heard of condom, or getting yourself "fixed"?

I'm 44 and suspect that when I get to what is currently retirement age, it will have been made impossible or illegal for some reason in both Canada and the UK (and a host of other countries too).

Well the reason is simple, an inverted population pyramid means that there will be insufficient young workers to pay the pensions of the old. Although some good old fashioned immigration would sort that out.

Never.

I figure I'll retire when 1 of 2 things happen.

1. I become unable to work due to medical issues or just simply too old.

2. The day I happen to leave this world.

I have no plans to retire due to lack of resources to do so and I don't predict much changing in the future. I have no retirement account (hard to save for retirement when you make 11/hr) and I have never worked for an employer that offered any sort of retirement program or benefit, and I doubt the benefits I'll get if any from the government for being old will cover the cost of living, so I don't see a retirement happening.

I also may not live long enough to worry about it, males in my family tend not to live to an old age.

ARE YOU WORKING RIGHT NOW?

what age will that be?

one of the lucky ones

you are not ready to retire then?

+1 I'm finding the same thing

I retired from the daily grind at 63, should have done it sooner

Snap, (but only the one) my husband wanted to call our son "Porsche" as that's what he says he would have done with the money!

Neither of us work in a brick factory or anything physically knackering, but the word 'retire' terrifies the pants off me, and I hope it never happens to either of us....I'm just about starting to feel grown up and like I might be in a position to do something useful...a few more NB winters and I may be ready to move, but I hope neither of us ever retire!

for most the body cannot keep up with the young mind. Think young - body old

Yes. I got a job at a hotel as a night auditor..

I think a lot of this does depend on where you started off in the first place, I so often meet people in their 40's and they talk about retiring, but it does occur to me when they tell me about their lives that they've hardly started to live physically or mentally? Strokes for folks I suppose....

good for you

good luck
