Health also plays an important factor deciding the right age of retirement

I'm retired after working for many years at a very stressful job. I love it! My blood pressure and cholesterol went way down after I retired. Now, I work from home for extra money and enjoy life.

It is different for each person. When youhave enough money to retire and you are comfortable doing so, that is when you should retire. I would retire tomorrow if I knew I could. I would take the opportunity to travel to world and lead a work-free, stress-free life.

Take it from someone that has seen this manyof times...work till your health says no...A person can do parttime easy work when they are older... Quit working too soon will have great disadvanges..One if you do not have alot of money for retirement you will soon find out you are sitting in the rocking chair doing noting.. You can become sick with depression because nothing to do anymore.. or very loney if you worked with the public..you will miss the interaction of people... When people get older life styles change drasticly..when you retire it can become worse...maybe for a time after it is ok but after awhile you will find out it is not really all what people say it is make out to be. I have found more and more people that have retired or quit work going back and doing simple jobs out in the work force just to satisfy some of the feeling they encounter when they quit... If you or someone is thinking about quiting work or getting close to retirement ...take a good look at all the ups and downs that will happen before makeing a perment choice.

As long as your employer wants. If you are a owner of a business, you can work till enthusiasm, interest, dedication lasts, and health and family members permit. Like a woman saying, her best 10 years were between 16 and 17 we should say one can retire in 10 years when they are between 60 and 61.

That's depend on what's your heart telling you.Some peoples really enjoy to working as long as they can some might prefer to retire early and the realistic is do we have a choice? I mean do we financially can support to retire early?

It depends on you whether you have interest in your work or not.If you have a interest and if you love your work it is not compulsory to quiit.
