Personally, retirement is not something I'm working 'towards' attaining. I love what I do. At 57 I'm more excited about the future of my biz than ever before. I've been doing what I do (used textiles) for the past 39 years, yes right out of high school. We are currently growing our retail base, which for brick & mortar retailers these days is unusual. I do have the ability to choose when/where and how long of a day I put in, so maybe that's "my" type of retirement. My biz partner is 64 and he's got the same mental makeup as myself. We can, fortunately, do what we want, when we want and where we want. We'll both probably die "in our chairs" when that day comes, but we do make PLENTY of time for our wives, kids and grandkids. I guess for me it's more about balance than anything. We have implemented a succession plan in the event either of us get hit with an unplanned health event.
