Retired?

[TattooDaveParticipant 6952]

We have a great societal mix all of us are from different backgrounds societies etcetera. I am retired I worked in the financial services industry, I just wondered how many on here are actually retired and stay over 55. Just curious how many of you guys are in the same situation I’m in where I don’t really have to work unless I want to I have everything I need etcetera. Anyway this isn’t my first go-around on mgtow. Com it’s just the name that I choose to use now. Have a great Sunday afternoon gentleman cheers

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

[Ned TrentParticipant 4894]

My brother, who actually is a few years younger than me will most probably retire way earlier than I will if ever…

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

Mid-late 30s physician.

Plan on retiring from shift work by 55. (Night emergency rotations are getting harder and harder).

I think I might get bored like Stealthy. Plan on retiring to research.

I want to be the old eccentric lab coat-guy locked away in the basement. Every once and a while they send down a hot research assistant with a nice set of (o Y o) for extra credit activities. Lol

I got pushed (unwillingly) into early retirement at age 52, been living on a pension since then. Currently age 60.

After I got pushed out of work, one thing or another kept me from seeking new employment. Example: A two-year hostile divorce where I needed to keep my income as low as possible. Eventually I moved someplace with a low cost of living, verified that I could live comfortably on what remained of my pension after my ex took her portion, and I haven’t earned an honest (or dishonest) day’s wage since.

i could do it right now if I wanted to. Might

Here is the deal, I’m very weary of the next two years in the us/ west. I do not want to count on any cash flow. So, how do you retire without needing cash…..that is my number one obsession.

When you find yourself in the majority, it's time to reflect.

The gob’ment is very generous with their retirement. I retired at 53 with two years of saved vacation days.

I have many interests, currently that’s sailing. I just bought a Catalina 36, it’s old but in great shape. I plan to cruise and that keeps me busy. So far I’ve studied classical history, learned the latest in AI research into genetic computational analysis. For example: What genes are turned on in cancer versus non-cancerous cells. All the data is archived for public use.

If something starts to feel like work I stop doing it.

It’s a real turn off for women and that’s good enough for me to know it’s the way to go my own way.

Haha. I’m 23 and barely started my career.

I have discovered a truly remarkable list of reasons why women are not necessary for a happy life, but alas this margin is too small to contain it.

50. physician. achieved a point where work is optional, but I like it. I’m good at it, and don’t have enough skills at anything else to get the same sense of achievement I get from work. I doubt I’ll ever quit completely. But I can see myself relocating to another country with greater need for my skills. Most can’t pay as much as I’ve made here. But I don’t really need the money. I need to be left alone, and to be free of government bureuacrats to do what it is I do best. Many countries might be willing to do that…

Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you

I personally view “retirement” as an opportunity to try out new interests.
I would enjoy tutoring high school kids or maybe med students. Some research would be fun. I used to trade commodity futures and had a blast.
Sailing and golf would be fun a few times per week. I’m used to working long hours. It would be fun to pursue other interests sometime. We never really retire. We just find some other interests to explore.

I’m 56 and I am concerned that when I retire I won’t be busy enough. I’m super restless and really thrive on the social aspect of working. I can see myself becoming very unhappy without a day of problems to solve and challenges to meet.

Once I can get an acreage secured. I’m officially retiring from employment.
Between the “work” of maintaining and producing what I need on the property and my pensions. I should be busy enough, and happy enough just living how I want to.

ATM I am employed full time, and yet I’m still classified as semi-retired (due to receiving a medical pension).

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

[joetechParticipant]

I’m 61 . I retired last year. This November I’ll start collecting Social Security, before it’s gone. Not much of a 401K to fall back on, but with the talents I’ve got I never have trouble making money when I need to. It’s not the retirement I wanted, but at least I never had happen to me what happened to people who worked for United Airlines…one day they had pensions, the next day they didn’t.

Mid 30’s.
My situation would be best described as not rich (by rich standards) but financially independent.
Worked hard at getting ahead. Didn’t spend to much on women, might have gone over the “Leykis limits” once or twice, but not by much and not often. No family to support.
Sticking with career number 1 but that’s “more greed than need” at this point when you get down to it.

For whatever reason I do get a decent incentive to work my way ahead despite my lack of family from knowing I get to keep my own paycheck…
After the tax man is done robbing me that is, but he is the only one getting a cut directly from me so as long as he doesn’t get too greedy I’ll keep going this way.

55. Not yet retired; but getting closer to it.

[Buller100Participant 2189]

58 retired for 5 years , spend lots of time in Phillipines , money is not an issue a pension of $18000 a year plus income from rental properties in Uk.

I have been getting a bit bored of late, but I got a bit bored when working.

[VarunParticipant 2981]

Proud to have so many good guys like you all.

They say a man’s need ceases when he retires from his job. I call bulls~~~ on that.
