Can you, or will you be able to, retire and stop working?
I was hoping to be out at 65, but since I bought my house on my own two yrs ago at 55, and I live by myself (so no romantic 'drain' but also no co-contributor to the repayments), I think I'll now be aiming to retire at 70.
I already am no longer working full-time, so I'm on the slow downhill pathway to stopping working. 8-)
Sadly there are some people who can't or won't be able to stop working past their 60's or 70's, and a smaller again subset who don't want to stop working (my hat is off to those).
Fortunately I am in neither of those categories.
Employers do not generally value their employees and your employer (and management of said employer) are generally not your friend(s).
