Retirement: The Best Years of Your Life? | James Cobb | TEDxUoChester

[NicholasBall]

It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

As a youngster in college, money was a constraint, then during my working years time was a constraint, in old age fitness will be a constraint. I retired at age 62. The next ten years will be the best decade of my life up here in Alaska as we have money, time, and fitness to enjoy backpacking, biking, canoeing, cross country skiing, gardening, etc.

Retired at 58, financially secure but have struggled every day for the last 4 years trying to find purpose. My advice would be, have a well thought out plan, dont go from 110% to 0% the day after. I found it a real shock.

So we all have 24 hours in a day,
On average 8 hours sleep 8 hours work 8 hours free time
Plan a good routine/schedule to fill out the times of removing the 8 hours of work and there it is easy,
An idea to think about doing,
Go down to part time work before you fully retire so you can ease into retirement.
Then only you will know when you are fully ready,
Remember only you create your own world.
God bless to you all.

For me, retirement meant being free from working stress. Perhaps this is why I'm living to a ripe old age. I'm 91 years old and comfortably retired for over 23 years.

Dennis Miller said it best when he said "Never before have lives less lived, been more documented". How many videos are out there of people witnessing an impromptu concert or some other event and instead of just enjoying the moment they pull their phones and start recording hoping for clicks and likes. And Dr. Phil is 100% correct about the school shut down-the children were the least vulnerable group.

Best part of retirement is when you get sick and don't have to go back to work to keep your job.

[mikefallert]

Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.

I am 79, and am as happy as a clam at high tide. I went to college, saved money, so I could retire. It worked for me. Snow bird. Stopped driving, take the train.

[sauropod]

I've been asked countless times "What do you do now that you're retired?"
My answer:
I was fortunate  to have earned a chemistry degree in my younger years and now in my retirement,   I put my chemistry to good use and I now enjoy turning beer, wine, Scotch, and margaritas into urine.

Retirement at some point in life is needed<<When it comes to investing, diversification is the key, that's why I engage in sectors based on projected growth. I'm currently investing in stocks and crypto & this made me my first million with the help of a licensed US broker, Marnell English, who trades for me. I met her at a trade seminar in NY & she agreed to trade for me. I recommend her to investors looking to work with a broker >too.

[ianwall]

Great video. I agree with everything. I am in my fifties and best is yet to come

[vijiind]

Retirement is definitely a new freedom and you have done ✅ your best for the family . In Hinduism you are in the last phase of your life which is basically that you have to free yourself from entanglements and lead a happy with life less dependence on others .

[etiennelouw]

I planned my retirement or as I say "too tired to work". My house was paid off, I bought a new motorcycle (Honda NC750XD) that is very economical, great for touring. Have a ton of projects.

[osho]

I retired about 3 years ago at the age of 58 which was our retirement age
As a look back at the last 3 years, I think they have been my best years, as if i am reborn, or living a new Life
Still miles to go before I sleep
Let's see how much I can do for the orphans, old people, under

[anilp.m]

Excellent talk on great phase of life👍

[missadda]

I will work in some capacity until I die surrounded by my friends and family for as long as possible, here in the US living in a retirement community is expensive so people move out of state to Florida, South Carolina etc and create a new life with new friends, I dont have this bug in me I'll cast my lot with the friends and family I already have but different strokes for different folks good luck to everyone on your life path.

The speaker provides no sources for his “stats”. No mention of his “experience”. It actually sounds like he is sellling a ‘concept’, i.e. promoting the retirement village industry concept. I’d rather live my retirement in society surrounded by people of all ages and in all conditions.

[andreawannop]

I like his talk. Certainly puts a new perspective on aging

[amskillstechnicaltraining]

I didn't hear much during this talk that the average person doesn't already know. I agree that the best years of our lives are ahead. It would be helpful to have some real examples delivered with energy and enthusiasm. As for living out your years in a "village" that's just one choice among many. The path forward can have many options.
