@chrisexleymoneygeek: 50-60 yr olds didn’t have it easy. The boomers who came before them had it easier. Final salary pensions, kids who could get on the property ladder. But people retiring now are often supporting 3 generations: Mum who needs care, Kids who need financial help. And so turning off that income and actually retiring is an incredibly difficult decision. What was it that helped you push the button? In my experience - knowing the numbers inside out does a lot to cure that anxiety. ⚠️ This content is not financial advice and should be used for educational purposes only.

It makes me laugh all these posts that seem to insinuate that all people in their 50&60 have large pension pots when the reality is alot of us are only going to have a very small work place pension so how about a few posts about people who even though have worked from the age of 16 will have bugger all when they retire !

I'm GenX with no kids and I don't want to retire because my job is good for my physical and mental health. I work part-time and get 6 weeks holiday. It's a perfect existence for me.

Jesus. Here I was feeling pretty good about my £300k pension pot and you casually drop £800k as being scary.

I'm sure they'd love to retire but of course they aren't confident. In the last five years life has become unaffordable and unpredictable. None of us dare think about retirement because the risks are unquantifiable now.

Buying houses in the 1990s probably takes the edge off. And most do have final salary pensions.

This is all excellent advice until divorce and financial orders kick in.

I get this perspective my pension was worth north of 2 million and I still had anxiety about retiring. It wasn’t until I got hit with an aggressive cancer that I suddenly realised how short life can be, fortunately the cancer is now in remission and I am retired. People have to choose what is right for them, I could have retired at 55 but didn’t until I was 59. You never know what life will throw at you, plan is if you will live forever but live life as if the next year could be your last
