Henry Rifle Forums

in following the thread about the age of our members ===> http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... &hilit=age <=== a question has come to mind .... at what age did you or do you plan to retire ?

for me :

I've retired twice ... the first time at age 56 from working in NC's Prison System, the second at age 66 from working in RV Sales

I plan to retire at 60.


That was a couple years ago.

I retired at 55, and I often wonder how I ever found the time to go to work. I thought I'd struggle to find things to do to keep me 'busy', but the opposite has been the case. There aren't enough hours in the day.

Perhaps I just, er ..... 'waste' too many hours thinking about/reading about/playing with and using guns.

Nah, that can't be it. It must be something else.

I'll be 62 in April and thinking of retiring at the end of June or end of September!

I went out at 55.
Work slowed down to the point I told the boss it would take me a lot longer to go broke sitting at home than it would driving 23 miles to work every day so I quit.
Money is a little tight but no regrets.

I've been retired for almost 20 yrs. Been bar hoppin ever since. HaHa!

In March 2012 at age 67.

Plan on retiring at age 62. 2 years and 6 months to go.

January 1, 2013 at the age of 62. I had just spent the previous 6 months recovering from spinal fusion surgery. I used up all of my accumulated sick and vacation time to reach that date. It took me a full two years for the bones to heal; regardless, I've never been without some degree of lower back pain since. And, though I'll never touch my toes again, I can walk more than a mile, which I couldn't do before the surgery. A slipped disc can actually cripple a person. Pain and all, I feel lucky to be this well.

The way we spend money? Age 95.

Retire? Doesn't look doable.

I will be 65 in August. Im not sure what I will do after then but I know Im tired of trucks after 40 years. Al

I retired on October 12, 2005 at the age of 62. You can guess how old I am now.

Let's see...


Add the 2, carry the 1.....


X?

Money isn't the issue, we have lots, it's just all tied up in debt right now.

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!

58 now, hoping by 90 or so..ex got everything.

Semi retired at age 48. I am 54 and a half. i have worked for myself since age 40. Good timing, life choices and investment's allowed me to slow down a lot since I've developed health issues. I am not rich. I am just sort of comfortable. My house is paid for, so is everything else. No real debits except medical bills that will come in forever. I get by ok.

I'm 43 now, hopefully by the time I'm 65. If investments and savings keep looking good.

I retired in 2003 at the old age of 54. I was a purchasing agent for an engineering company and was laid off in September but in October of the same year I was given a VA Disability. After a year I got bored and took truck driving school and drove long haul for a year. Not a good way to make a living but it was one of the best jobs I ever had. But then I drove the least amount that I could get away with.
