around 45-50 I hope

I could retire right now in my mid 20s but it would be a simple, mostly frugal life and I'd have to hope that for the next 50-60 years everything would be okay in the world and that I would be healthy. you're one allahu akbar bomb or a pandemic away from going bankrupt if your income is weighted completely towards renting property during the summer seasons.

financial advisor has set a target of 55, but by almost every metric, we should be able to retire before then if we wanted. healthcare is a huge wildcard though.

My investment portfolio timeline has me retiring and investing up until 62.

I will have the means to retire at 57 or 58 and continue to invest until the 62 year mark, however.

45 hopefully.

I CAN realistically retire right now because of the investments we've made. But I'd be bored out of my mind sitting at home doing nothing since we don't have kids yet.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

lol at brahs ITT planning to retire in 40's and 50's. Once libs take out that $6 gorillion debt and raise minimum wage to $50/hr to secure that burger-flipping vote, your 1 million dollars is gonna last you 6 months in a studio apartment by the river of human feces.

I'll probably die at work. SRS.

I do see my career changing as time goes on. As I get older I'll change roles and eventually find a place where it will just be easy.

Dunno. Should have enough to pull the plug at 50 but will probably work till 55.

When you don't really need the job it feels different going to work.

Those planning to retire early have high net worth hedged against inflation. ie real estate and stonks.

If minimum wage is $50, the S&P will be at 15,000, and the average house will be worth 1.5m.

Im at a point where the "work" is not really work anymore. So I expect I'll just keep going this way until I die. The alternative would be doing nothing which sounds boring as hell.

Do what you love [ or learn to love what you do ] and you'll never work a day in your life.

I'm 46 (man that stings) and won't retire until I'm 66. I also have an alpha blue collar job. Unless the wife, 13 years my junior, ends up surpassing me. God I hope this happens. So is the life of a tradie who started later in life.

I don't think I've ever dreamed of retirement. I only ever tell myself I'm working towards a job I love to do.

Wagecels don't understand a diversified portfolio in the correct mix of pre and post tax investments that includes international and domestic stocks, cash, currency, metals, real estate, bonds, 401k/Roth, 523's.

poverty status - pathetic.

Nice, mates
did you even read this thread? it seems like early retirement or work forever in equal parts, which is actually what I'd expect given the misc. demographic.

But would you actually retire at that age?

Even if I were financially set and could retire, I wouldn't do my current job, but I'd still want some kind of easy job that I enjoy. For me to much time on my hands would be counterproductive.
