As an engineering, hopefully no later than 75. At that point I hope to volunteer at some national park as a ranger maybe. Can only hope I've been investing my money wisely enough. Besides those wanting to work, it's kinda dreadful to see someone that old who still need to work depending on the type of work. My mother is in her 70's now and retired. I do not want to imagine her going back to her cashier job and standing hours on end or moving grocery around. She's fit and surprisingly strong for her age but I still do not want that kinda physical work on her.

Lol, there is absolutely no way I'll ever be able to retire. In 35 years we're going to be in a whole new world of problems, and there will not be enough labour force to sustain the comparatively large retired class.
If I ever retire, it'll be in my late 70s at the earliest, but I have my doubts. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Good for you! :) Age shouldn't be a barrier to gaming in one way or another (though yes, I do agree with the certificated games *being* certificated, even little kids have age-appropriate games they could play). I'm 33, but medically retired already, and have been for several years. I've been pretty well told outright that if I ever try to go back to full-time work it could kill me. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ...

I help out at the auto shop next door when I feel like it, teach the university extension classes I think are fun, cook for a blind neighbor, volunteer for small gigs, work on my own little collection of sports cars (pretty much have the E36 in shape, rebuilding an MA61 Supra). --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less ...

That's true, a lot of things I wouldn't mind doing since I didn't get much spare time throughout my career (although I am only 32 now). I suspect my fear of boredom was more out of not being directly involved in the work which I currently do (I'm in consulting) and would instead contribute to society/communities/family in a different way. --- If you can understand this, I'm 2/cosC for you. ...

With the line of work in going into Idk id ha e to check but there is a half retirement plan and a full retirement plan. Half basically means you get what was 50% of your pay a month for the rest of your life and full i assume is 100% but Idk.

My thoughts on retirement are divided between extremes, I think either the world won't be habitable anywhere near long enough for me to reach "typical" retirement age, or the increase in human lifespans will far outpace the wealth of the middle class (I mean, the latter has already been going backwards for a long time) and people will need to be like 78 to retire
