Since I just turned 56, this is question is quite relevant. What will I do? Who knows? I'll do what I want. I've always been one to take advantage of the moment. I'll probably continue to do that. What ever happens, happens. I'd like to retire at 62 and I still may. However, I'm not sure what my financial position will be in 6 years. Hopefully the 'correction' we're having now, will be behind us. Having no children at home, I'll probably still stay close to them, wherever they are. But also I realize that as a child of aging parents my duties will be to care for them, if they need it. I never realized how much of an issue that could be until that last few years. And our parents are not necessarily in poor health. But everyone ages, and with that process the inevitable occurs. So while I would love to travel the world, I also know that even in retirement I'll have family responsibilities that come first. So, I'm not making many plans for retirement. As John Lennon said "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. "
Live for today. Tomorrow is too far away.
