My dad retired upon the aged of 40....

Soon..my father.

Not mine. My dad worked as a property agent after 'retiring' from his previous job. :p
Sadly enough to say, if we as the kids are capable enough, then our parents don't have to continue working at this age.

U got evil plan is it ! -
it all depends...my father retired for a period of time...should be around 1 year...and he was happy to get work as something that he likes...ie not for money.Originally posted by Slipshade:Sadly enough to say, if we as the kids are capable enough, then our parents don't have to continue working at this age.
during his 1 year retirement....he is like waiting for time to pass....sleep...wake up...go kopitiam....come back...wash car...see a bit of TV...wait for bedtime...U imagine doing that for a year....mentally torturing.I see already also sad for him.
I am happy to see him working nowadays...not for the money...the money isnt fantastic...but it gives him something to do....and its something that he likes...so I think that's the difference...and that's what matters. -
My dad is 54 and he's retired, he doesn't enjoy golfing and fishing - but he has some other pastime.
On days, he gets too bored. He'd actually go down the my family cafe and try to diss the staff a little
I think he does that to balance his sanity -
Nowadays 55 is too young to 'retire'.
55 is still young, people still mentally alert. Unless for physical jobs such as soldier, labourer, then yah maybe retirement is suitable.
If we read books, they say 50s is a man's peak.
Dunno what is the peak for women, sorry
Meat Pao. -
My father-in-law did.
He got to take out all his money from CPF, + sale of his HDB, quite a big lump sum.
He invested in stock mkt & made good returns, enough to survive for the next 20 yrs.
He got to enjoy life- everyday drink, smoke, go makan with friends, travelled round the world to US, Europe, Australia etc. When he died, he still have money left over. -

but if he wants, he can leave anytime also lar....hohoho
