I'm barely in a committed relationship, but my mom retired when she was 45. Well, tried to. Her plan was to live a quieter, slower life after spending a great chunk of her life as an anesthesiologist, took her maybe 6-7 months to give up on the "retired" life.
My dad is still working at 51, running his company and all. Last I heard from them was they were thinking of moving to Portugal after they send my brother off to college (2ish years) but knowing both I'm sure neither would be able to give up on the high-stress, high-strung life...
Then you have me. My plan is to work for someone until I have enough capital to start my own business, and see where that takes me. Ideally by 45ish I'd just look into passive income methods but that's 2 decades away so we'll see... Plus, most of the stuff I see myself doing instead of working kinda does require me to be physically young.
