How old?
« on: February 22, 2016, 06:27:37 pm »
I'm 43 and already looking ahead to when it's possible to retire  ;D
How old is the oldest WFP'er that you know?
Or the oldest that posts on here?
Just wondering, if staying fairly trim and fit, how long you can go on for?

My dad hits 65 on Thursday.

He is genuinely excited to be able to work until he's 70 (hes wfp) Will be part time though.

He doesn't need to work but he is happy he can. I think its a mindset. When you hit retirement age 60-70 it's kinda like your final years i guess.

I am 54 this year, and have no intention of retiring when or if I live that long, or I am fit enough to keep going. I will probably aim to cut down to 2-3 days a week though.

WFP hasn't been generally used longer than say...10 years at a push. So even a 70 year old guy working now on WFP will in all probability not been doing it longer than 10 years. You've a good deal longer than 10 years to go doing it, plus what you already done. Your neck and joints will be knackered by then  ;D  Instead of saving for a pension, buy some work /health related insurance  ;D ;D

I guess then that in moderation, you can do this until either
A, you've had enough or
B, they put you in a box
