Do you want to retire?

[melodylogan45]

Do you ever feel like you want to retire? I want to mentally, but cannot afford it financially. It would be great to get out of the bed when I want to, go to sleep when I want to, and not leave the house unless I wanted to go somewhere.

[bigedshult]

it not as good as it sounds because after some time your income is less than your out go

Yes I want to retire but cannot afford to financially at this point. I would like to make it work with a part time job. Maybe some day.

  I cannot retire now for financial reasons. So, to work ...I go for a paycheck!

I definitely wish that I can retire. But with mounting student loan debt, an automobile loan, and a credit card, I am afraid that I cannot do so from a financial perspective. :-(

My husband took an early retirement, so I did too.  That was five years ago and the time has flown by.  We have done a lot of traveling - to Europe and to visit my daughter and her family.  Lots of fun!

[dreamyxo]

Hell yes.  I'm sick of working.  I have a few decades to go before I can retire and get social security but I hope to escape the rat race well before that.

I don't know when I will retire at this time because  of the economy and m age right now

I retired after 34 years with the same agency.  Its funny how you think you're so free, but commitments, responsibilities, and obligations creep back into your life.  But really, a life without commitments, in my mind, is a wasted life.

I'm 26 and I'd love to retire. And really when I say retire, I mean work comfortably without fear of financial downfall due to work obligations. I always told myself that if i won the loterry, the first thing i'd due is retire my parents. I'm first generation born here in the us and believe me when I say the things they had to do to get our family situated here were harsh and unpleasant to say the least. And 90% not legal or smart. lol.

To be where we are today is a blessing my siblings and I often take for granted, but as a millenial, i do think of retirement as "not having to run my company, but still receive benefits from it" LOL.

Here's hoping.

retirement probably not i have lost two pensions in my lifetime so far and am old enough to probably not be able to build up another. the only thing i have is my 401 k that i lost my a$$ on so its not much

[tnshpalmer85]

I don't really want to retire. When I get older I want to have a job for two or three days a week where I am helping out, but not very stressed like working at Publix. I would not mined cooking the samples. I think working helps to keep people alive and up to date with times. 

[marciaenglish]

My job is so easy I probably never will retire!  As long as I am in good enough health.... I will still keep working along!

[gaylasue]

I would love to retire but don't see that in my future.  I have a disabled husband whose medical needs consumes most of our income and it won't get any better....

[dbsaus1]

I am retired. It is not as rosy at times. Yes ,you have more time but not as much money as when you were working.
My husband is still working. Retirement would be a big adjustment for him.
