I first retired last year when I turned 50. As I have always planned it, I wanted to retire early so I can enjoy life, doing what I want to do while I am strong enough to do it. Some people retire so late and then plan to travel, and find out their knees can't measure up!
From my retirement (and savings), I built my retirement home where I have always wanted it to be - - Tagaytay. I filled it up with amenities so that my friends can hop over and enjoy not just my company but the place itself (not to mention the abundance of inexpensive fish and vegetables in the nearby market).
Then I was requested by our parent company to set up their Philippine operation, so I am on an 18-month contract. Call it a minor interruption to my grand retirement plans.
When finally, finally retired, I will be able to do the things I have planned - - - more travel, and serious NGO work. I even have a clear template of my NGO work already, implementing it little by little, until the time I could make it my next pre-occupation. Just giving back for life's blessings.

yeah. its never too early to start saving for your retirement. I started saving for my retirement when I was 22. I usually pay myself first (segregate an amount from my salary for retirement), then use the remainder for my daily needs and wants.

Oh yes. A combination of savings and investments. So when the time comes, I will have more than enough funds to indulge on my many hobbies. :)

Nope, it's not healthy for me to think too far into the future. :) Maybe when I'm older and I've settled down, that's when I'll probably start planning ^^

Well, For me... It's too early to think about retirement. I still have to work hard to achieve my goals in life. <*-*>

I am in Australia - and am my own 'boss' [self-employed businesswoman]. So, the question of retirement does not arise at all.

yes, i am supposed to be able to get money from my pension plan which matured a year ago. unfortunately i am still waiting for their settlement. comprehensive annuity plans and pension(cap pension) sucks.
