as long as you can still make money, don't even think about retiring early, I know early retirement is everyone's dream but who knows what will happen next, you have to maintain your grades and productivity so that you stay healthy and respected by people.

I think any kind of retirement is a bad idea for a lot of people. Work keeps people minds sharp and their body healthy (decent work, not sitting 10 hours in a chair work). Once those kinds of workers go into retirement, they become lonely and sad. They have nothing to do with their life. Every day becomes the same dull shade of gray. If you are in a job that you love and you work with people that you love then a money-making does not become the priority of a job but rather having a reason for living. Your purpose becomes your reason.

We see way too many people go from 70 to 100 in a matter of months. From my experience with the elderly, I think they may have been happier with a job or a reduced-hour job than with retirement. Undecided

In my opinion, people who retire from work can be due to several factors, whether it's family or the economy, but most people who retire want to spend time with their family, so they can fill their seniors' time and sometimes we work not because we like the job, but because the work environment makes us feel at home. Even though the income is not much, the work environment makes you comfortable and will make you feel at home in the job itself.

But back to ourselves, we have the choice to stay or retire, if you retire, have there been results that make you satisfied or something that can produce long-term results that can be passed on to relatives or family. I personally will retire if I have my own business that can support my family so I don't depend on other people for work, what about you?
