Me, I'm retired for a year now.
Worked 40 years for Uncle Sam in the Post Office... Sometimes I think I'm too young to retire. but I did my time..
I'm 58...

Retired, but I'm very active in doing my volunteer work. I probably keep more busy doing that than when I was actively employed. And I get more pleasure out of it too.

I'm still working full-time. I am manager of a charity for older people and it is demanding but fullfilling work. I am 55 years old and I do get very tired. I can't retire until I am 62 years 6 months because of the UK equalisation of men and women's retirement age!!

officially, I am retired BUT I have never been so busy. Help look after mum and mum-in-law ,gardening,cleaning the house more thoroughly and then there's the 11 grandchildren - I don't know how I ever found another 40 hours a week to go to work!

Working 20 hrs per wk. I can't physically do more. My hubby is 67 and retired. He loves it. I'd go nuts, I think.
When I developed severe arthur in my back and had to quit the job I had, I was devastated emotionally and financially.
Now at least I can contribute something and don't feel like I'm a waste of air anymore.
LOL
Also, thanks to my job I have daily inter-net access so I can talk with all of you.

According to the gov't I'm retired but my body is still "working". Running a house and picking up after a 13year old and a 63yr old husband is a lot of work!

Still going strong although I could retire in November. I am not 62, so I probably will work until then.

I retired when I was fifty. Currently, I am restarting another business. It is an opportunity that I cannot pass by! So, I am NOT retired now and starting another business.
