Realistically, when do you think you can retire?

i WAS shooting for 55, but i dont think that is gonna happen.

i want to be super effen comfy in retirement. i'm healthy now..i think i can make 65 now. i have a long way to go. everyone tells me it happens faster than you imagine

you?

 

I'll probably die while at work.

 

Goal is 48, will retire then continue working part time, of course thats only if everything goes accordingly to my plans. i started investing into retirement funds at age 18

 

Been reading around and found a few things that say you should have at least $10M saved up and you can retire comfortably at any age. Just invest wisely if you do it young!

 

I am on track to retire at 38

 

Are you reading notes on napkins you've written to yourself? Never seen an article that says that's a realistic retirement goal for an average person. $10M would be nice, but you could realistically withdraw just interest at $300k/yr and not dent the portfolio value.

Each year I save 17% of AGI for retirement with the aim of retiring at 55.

 

when ever i can come up with the money. my tires now are bald as shit so i've been carpooling with someone else in a camry...not as fun as the truck..

 

Im looking at... 38 right now.. If i decide against that then it should be before 50, I've begun investing in a couple areas and planning on opening a Roth IRA today actually.

 

you guys who are retireing at 38, are you talking full blown, not gonna work another day in your life, retirement? or is it a retirement from the military, with a move to a part time or full time position eslewhere?

 

41 now. Have approx 130,000 saved. Need about double that to supplement oap and cpp and I will be able to retire comfortable at 55 to 60

 

Going to retire next year at 66 after 45 years of selling HiLux to Tacos. I can offer one word
of advice to you (I started way to late) 30 something's. Put your money in retail units. You have to start somewhere and a duplex will return more than a single unit. Just start. You will find one is a pain in the a$$, but after you get a few they pay for any problems and after a while you can make enough to build one a year.

 

I think it also had something to do with taking care of yourself after you're dead and a little something about keeping your family happy with inheritance

 

Will be retiring at 54 and never working for anyone ever again!

 

I am 55, and I just retired earlier this year.

 

For me personally i'll be able to retire from the military, As far as it being a permanent retirement, i cant say. I'm prob gonna find something to do in the meantime while i collect benefits. I'm thinking going into law enforcement early(~21-22) so i can have 2 retirements.

I do think if i can keep it up, that i'll work in public service till they kick me out though.

 

Probably (hopefully) never, I may write a book, always wanted to.

I have several acres of land with a good size pond, a small garden, a couple of cows. I am staying busy. Looking at putting in 6 -8 foot berm in a back corner for my own shooting range.

 

Started way too late. The answer is likely "never". Don't be me, kids.

No children at least.

 

Retired at 42...

 

just did the math (ballpark math). I'm shooting for a larger cushoin than "normal", but i should hit my goal at about 65 with my current 401k, roth ira, and mutual funds. sonstantly looking at more and better options and strategies though, so i should be able to bump that age down 5-10 years between now and then.

 

you early retire planners. what about health insurance before medicare kicks in?
