The responses to my retirement post are a real eye opener.

87. Soon as I hit 62, I'm out of the workforce.

When I hit 55, going to move into one of those 55+ retirement communities. Or buy an RV and live on the road, we haven't decided yet. Maybe both?

White collar job here, plenty in the 401k and have two pensions. I looked at finishing off my career in the company I spent during my college years, I knew they have a reputation for low pay...but once they told me the max salary, it was obvious, I'm not going to go back when I have other companies on the outside willing to give me more.

I recently took what I thought was a lateral at a non-profit. First day on the job I'm told the hiring manager will not be my direct report, instead I will report directly to VP of finance. At my 90 day review with HR, they asked if I was open to moving up. My response, "Sure, but its kind of early to talk about that". I'm thinking my title just might change at 180 days. President of the company is already forwarding reports to me to validate the numbers on and have to work on an auditing project next week. Plus side, I'm enjoying it because I no longer work 10+ hours a day, stressful issues are gone, wondering if its "your turn" to get a bad review despite doing an amazing job and of course, no more corporate politics.
