[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5073377, member: 77939"] Well.... No. "Common retirement length"......not sure what that means. "Common retirement AGE" is considered from 62 to maybe 70. Talking common here. Now, based on your words or sense of reality.....simply not so. The reason "most" people wouldn't stick around is because they are of retirement....AGE! Most people would never make say 40 years because they wouldn't live that long or be quite elderly. Example I have because I started at age 18. 40+18=58....my age. I can't get Medicare till 65. I might be at UPS till then. We'll see. Just because you "Top Out" doesn't mean you automatically quit. Why would I quit a great paying job if I'm going to keep working? Every financial planner I've talked to says I'm way too young to retire......and no, I'm not a multi-millionaire. And no, I didn't work 100hr weeks to become one like some have admitted here. Some not. Trading $100k for maybe $48k doesn't seem to make sense to me.....but hey..not to mention having to buy insurance.... You use the term "common". Ok. Most "common folks" won't be able to retire at 48 with 30 years in. Ask a lot of retirees how their lifestyle went down after retiring....if they are honest...I'd bet a lot. Now, if none of that makes logical sense....I can't imagine saying "Ok I've got 30 years in and fully vested with no possible gains....so I'm going to quit this great paying job and go make less or maybe the same by working still..." Belittling folks for working 50 years(give or take) is intellectually dishonest. When, in fact, they did the very same thing....just not at one place. No? I think so. I know so. [/QUOTE]
