I'm 62, looking forward to retiring at 67 or 68 - to me retirement means no more full time employment with the safety net which that provides. I'm in great health, good shape for my age, and really dig my job. My wife has been a homemaker since she got pregnant with our first in 1989. I used to say that I'll retire when I die, as we were awful at setting aside funds for living without a regular paycheck. We'll see how that works out. In the mean time we just started down the path of building a new home, our retirement home so to speak. Somethings I think I must be insane...
