    Almost 70 and working harder than ever. Guess I’ll retire when I’m 6 feet under 😉

    Four more years is the current goal. The nice this is that its really any day I get fed up with the job... or the politics around it.

    I will retire when I no longer enjoy what I do. Could be tomorrow. Could be in 20 years.

    The field of coin dealer does not come with retirement - they didn’t mention that in your coin dealer classes?

    I think I’m eligible in a little over 20 years…

    I went to World Headquarters last week to give them my one year notice and that I would be retiring early sometime in 2022. I ended up leaving with a 5 year deal that I couldn't refuse. They keep pulling me back in. 2026 here I come!

    Was the deal for more money or something else?

    Company recently got me to reconsider staying longer with added incentives, and I told them I'd try for three more. So, current parachute date is in 10/2024

    Too many variables in play to say, truly. Earliest possibility is fall of 2026 but it's possible I could work 15 more years or even longer.

    Retired 5 years ago at 55 and now I'm buisier than ever!

  • MasonGMasonG Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭✭✭

    In the last four months, I had one friend who died of a heart attack and another who had surgery for colon cancer. Considering my own medical adventure two years ago, I have to say- as much as I like what I do, I just don't want to have to do it eight hours a day, five days a week anymore. I'm looking forward to late morning walks in the park with my dogs and afternoon naps in the sun on my front porch.

  • pmh1nicpmh1nic Posts: 3,295 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm not sure if I can handle retirement. I cut back to four hours a day at the beginning of the year and work remotely from wherever I am, which can be anywhere in the U.S. I can get an internet connection. Morning, afternoon, evening doesn't matter as long as I do the 4 hours. Forty years with the company has its benefits.

    25 years absolute tops. Likely 20 years. Might be sooner if I keep doing so well with coins. There's a world where I retire in 12 years but that seems like a dream, things would have to go perfectly. I estimate our mortgage has about 16.5 years left on it so once that's gone, my annual expenses will drop quite a bit.

    When I’m 60 I’ll probably have 2 kids in college, so it’s looking like never.

    Retired this past August at 62 from a career I loved and worked in for 28 years. It took me about 5 weeks and a trip to Italy to forget I even worked for the company. It’s like dream come true.

    Between 5-10 years. Depends on if work stays as fun as it is now, how investments pan out, the state of the world, health, a solid income bridge plan, etc.
