Make the most of the years of working you have left by making sure you sock away a certain percentage of your earnings for retirement. If you really want to enjoy retirement years you are going to need moola to do that.

I worked for 49 years and was forced into retirement kicking and dragging. I still am not happy being retired and keep looking for another job but who will hire a disabled 69-year-old?  I was self-employed PLUS worked a flexible full time job 14/7 plus holidays.

I take after my dad who always worked 2-3 jobs up until he died at age 75.  As a kid, I was always with him on the jobs as a milkman delivering mild at the crack of dawn, then a truck driver, for 2 different companies and helping out on the farm mowing hay, feeding the animals, you name it.

Retirement is not all it's cracked up to be. People forget about you after retirement. Those friends from your job have better things to do. Childhood friends die as do your family.

Enjoy life while you can. It gets depressing when you're retired.

I have been retired for 17 years and I am not depressed yet.

I think when I get in my sixties I will cut back on working, but I do not think I will fully retire. I like earning money and having something to do. When I am off from work for a couple of days, I get depressed. I think working will keep me going.

I cannot wait to reach the big 'R' myself. With my occupation, I can retire by the age of 45.
