You guys have an expected timeline?
67.5 is I guess what the retirement age will be to collect "social security." So only another 30 and change years, on top of the 16 I've been in my field. I pray I can work from 2008 to 2054 and that my job doesn't disappear into nothingness, that or the world ends. Working forever is unfortunately not the worst case scenario!
My grandfather, great guy, loved him, but I don't remember him working, ever. He retired when I was very young, maybe four or five. Back when the retirement age was 55. Full pension, call it a day. It's just crazy to me. 67.5 will be the retirement age, and I'm just hopeful I'll be lucky enough to take advantage.
Yup. I give it 10-15 years before societal collapse kicks in due to climate change.
That is my retirement plan.
