Retirement

Sometimes when I view people's profiles I'm surprised to see that they are retired at anything from age 50 onwards conversing
In my country, I need to work until I am 66 years and 7 months until I can draw a pension.
I'm 65 now, work 32 hours a week and love what I do so as long as my health holds up I plan to continue working up until that age and beyond hopefully.
Sometimes I wonder whether people say they are retired as they are unemployed and see no further job prospects or whether it's about different approaches to retirement in different countries confused

Hi mum wave

You would've turned 100 last Saturday if you were still alive, how bizarre uh oh

You departed when I was 39, it seems like yesterday but now I'm nearly as old as you were when I said my last goodbye to you conversing

Still your baby though grin

Dad, you left this mortal coil when I was 13 and you were 63 so now I'm older than you conversing

I remember Mum was very sad for a while but then as she approached her own death, she confided in me that she never really loved you which was quite confronting as I thought she worshipped the ground you walked on confused

Anyway, wherever the two of you are now I hope you are in peace and I'm just getting on with it and doing the best I can like I did back then hug
