Next year I’m turning 50 & also become eligible for retirement. Retirement age in my country for the general population (men) is 65, but the judiciary has separate rules. I’m seriously considering retirement but I have older colleagues who are still working because they say with the life expectancy rising who knows how much that great pension in the present will be worth in the future, so why not keep it going for an additional source of income?

    alot of retirees are still working. even some that retired around 55-60s. it just not enough income on RETIREMENT alone, unless you are RICH or well off, i had some “retired” uncle/aunts in thier 50s-60s that are doing stocks/investments instead carefully.

    with the off chance if you someone that is spending beyond thier means, and one other person is the sole breadwinner(like parents, one is overspending and hoarding and the other is apushover , it wont be enough.
