[QUOTE="DWSmith, post: 572072, member: 5102"] I've been working in I.T. for 44 years and other jobs before that while in school. I'll be 68 soon. I expect to work until I'm at least 70 but I have enough saved to retire today. The company has been laying off hundreds of people at a time. I'm surprised I'm still around, knock on wood. My boss of 17 years (we've become pretty good friends) asked me a few weeks ago when I plan to retire. Was that a hint? I can either wait until they kick me out or retire at 70 (or later) of my own accord or I can retire before that on my own schedule. I just don't have a strong reason to trip the trigger on retirement before 70 or even after 70. I 'have it made' working from home. It's a nice gig. I need a little more reason to retire than the flip of a coin but I expect they'll lay off my team any minute now so that I won't really have a choice. But I've been expecting a layoff for at least a year. [/QUOTE]
