How prepared are you for retirement?

Within 2 years (47), I will be in full position to retire. That said, I will NEVER retire. I'll just work on projects that interest me and spend more time doing the things I really want to do. But retire? Never. That's for old guys and/or people that want to grow old quick.

We have plans to move somewhere warm and buy a Marina.

Wait 20 years and see how you feel. We just spent the last week down at our retirement place, and it was wonderful.
No cell service there for our AT&T phones, awesome.
I worked sunup to sundown and loved every minute of it. This next 2 years can't go by soon enough for me.

Sorry, I can't and won't do it. That said, congrats on your just rewards. May time, for you, fly over the next 24 months!

Like I said, I am prepared to minimize, but not retire. I have a great biz format that allows me to pick and chose what and how much I want to work on. I can take off for a month or months and come back full time if I wish.

I should have made it more clear that I was speaking on a personal level, not a blanket statement for everyone. BTW, I have had a job since I was 7 years old doing something or the other. As a matter of fact, my first job at 7 was delivering Avon products door-to-door. By the time I was 16, I owned my own cleaning business - which I sold when I was 21. I love to work, and I love to make money. Barring physical limitations as I get older, I don't see that changing.

I need to get up there and buy you a beer soon.
