Nope

I'll be surprised if I make it to retirement age, but if I do, lol no.

I'm putting enough money away that I see myself retiring. At minimum, I would transition to a less stressful job about 10 years away from retirement and ride that out as I go to work less and less.

That said, I know I'll kill myself if my health degrades too much. I haven't decided what would happen if I run out of money.

Yes, I’ve got a detailed plan and I’m sticking to it. In 12 years from now, my youngest will be 15 and I can start winding down. I can’t imagine doing nothing, but with some part time work I think my wife and I can stretch to make it work. Requires that the oldest self-fund through university, which I had to do, so I’m ok with that.

Currently 47, which is probably substantially older than most people here. The concept of “retirement” (winding down) seemed so far away (didn’t start saving for it until late twenties) but compounding interest really is the most powerful force in the universe.

Of course if the stock crashes, plans may have to change. I’m slowly moving towards a stronger bond mix but that lowers return and pushes dates out. It’s a hard balance.

I think I’ve accounted for everything that one can plan for; late life care costs, risk of both my wife and I living to 100 (in a financial sense, we should all be so lucky), higher spend until 75, then lowered. There’s a risk that the UK removes universal state pensions, which would drastically alter my plans.

Yes. I'm not in line to inherit a fuck-you amount, but it's substantial, and if I move to a poor country and live modestly I should be able to make it last indefinitely.

I'd invest if I was above the poverty line, income-wise, but I'm not. Downward mobility is a bitch.

Depends. What does retiring mean? Does it count if society collapses and i go live in the woods?

No, my people dont live long. My wife will though. It makes me happy knowing that between both our labor she will be able to eek out a living in old age
