1 4 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lots of politicians seem to go on for a long time. Hardly low pressure either. Certain type of person for sure. (Obviously the main thing being that they want to do everything they possibly can for the general public). Link to post Share on other sites

ethanbaggett 2 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I am planning to retire at the age of 50 and then will continue my skiing dream. Will travel and explore beautiful ski resorts in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 My parents retired at 53 and 55. My mom at 53 lasted a few months before she was looking for a new job. My dad didn't go back to work at all but he often complains of being bored. I originally thought 55 as well...but no, I'll keep on doing some kind of business well beyond that. Besides that....my spending habits aren't in line with being retired. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I just don't like "doing business" and so will try and get out as soon as I can. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I expect in retirement I'll do a lot more volunteer work than I do now. I'm already on the board of two volunteer organisations and those roles would take up all my spare time if I let them. I don't think I'd get bored in retirement. Some volunteers I talk to reckon they've never worked harder than they have whilst in retirement. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I honestly can't understand being bored when you retire. I have so much non-work related stuff going on in my life that work really gets in the way. If I didn't have to work I wouldn't. In fact, I never would have worked a day in my life if it weren't necessary! (Not that I don't like what I'm doing though) Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 From the very first day I started working I was already planning my retirement. I've never been into working for a living. It really is a mugs game. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 haven't really thought of it. I feel for lots of japanese at least that work is the major social thing too. Akways seems odd to me that they work together all the time, then have so many parties together as well. Like, give me a break hey?! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I too will not be bored during my retirement. I will have a choice of travelling, cycling, skiing, probablu customising / modifying a car or motorbike, motorcycling around Japan, growing things for fun not for work, making things to name but a few things I will be doing. No way will I be bored oh no it will be a great retirement. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If you have lots of money left over to save for early retirement, why not work less now? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Good question. I enjoy my job and don't want to stop working as it keeps my mind active. What I'd really love is a nice work-family life balance more than anything. If I had to choose though, not too young. My dad retired through ill health at the age of 42, which is about 9 years on from now. Personally I think that was too young, but he is much happier now. I guess mid fifties really once I have achieved everything I want to do in my work life and happy. Luckily, if I stay in my job for another 15 years then I will get a good retirement package.

pie-eater 207 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Is your Dad ok now, Rob? I certainly hope so. I would like to retire earlier than later, as much as I might enjoy doing what I am doing. There's always the outside-work projects to work on. Link to post Share on other sites

It seems most of them spend all their time going to Kinosaki Onsen, so it can't be that busy or stressful! Link to post Share on other sites
