[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 1050213"] Interesting. 32 years here. I'm 50. The problem I have is that my house has 10 more years to pay off. My daughter is piling up tuition debt(which I think I should cover and have promised, her college is not extravagant but it's gonna be about $24k). Which means I'll probably have to stay(if possible) till 60(unless I find a magic lamp or so). I have plenty of hobbies but they take money(most do) and it adds up pretty quick. I have several college degrees and I'm a certified aircraft mechanic and lot's to offer(plus my cdl). But, I look around and with the airline/aircraft industry in freefall(and economy)(UPS has 100 mechanics laid off).......I factor in 7 weeks vacation, $90K, insurance......I get depressed thinking I'll be doing this same [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] till I'm 60. No person on my Dad's side of the family has lived past 72. 72-60 is 12. Not alot. I have always told myself I wouldn't stay past 30 years.......the bottom line to all of this is I can't seem to give up the crackpipe of $1200 a week. [/QUOTE]
