Man, I'd like to retire in 2031 or soon after. I need to look at numbers again and see if I am heading towards that reality. I really need to make headway on my debt in order to do that though.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Thrive to spite them
I won't evee retire. I mean right now I work in retail getting paid less than mu Best Buy job.
I don't know my future and it's scary. It seems that retail is better for me emotoinally/mentally than the office jobs but I don't think I'm cut out to be a supervisor. When i worked in an office it was so hard to have anything leftover for life.
It's frustrating amd scary thinking about the future.

Preeety sure that retirement is not going to be an option for me, because Pete is a freelance artist.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim's brothers and SiLs (all in their early to mid-50s) are looking ahead to retirement, and Tim and I are both like "Well, I'll be working right up until the morning of my funeral, so."

OTOH, my mother is incapable of slowing down, and was officially retired for about 2 nanoseconds. Then she got bored and got a part-time job that expanded into a 3/4-time and sometimes full-time job AND she took a year-long course to get certified to teach yoga and then opened a yoga studio in her basement AND teaches yoga at other locations. The woman is 71 years old and had major heart surgery 6 months ago. She is a dynamo.

My dad is *finally* retired, but it took moving in with his ladylove and selling the house he and my mom lived in. I was completely supportive of both of those things.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've told y'all about my dad's idea of retirement ("I'm not retiring! I'm just going to... not go to my job any more so I can go to law school instead!").
Meanwhile, mum says "Oh, I might pick up some part-time job when I run out of things to do in my retirement. In NYC. So probably never."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My parents retired a few years ago, and I am *so* jealous.
