Gen-Xer here. I think many of us are going to be working another 30+ years.
(Well, I've recently told some prospective co-founders that I'd like to have FIRE money in 5 years. But the only point of that is to have financial security and an upgrade from the ramen startup lifestyle I've had too long. Then I'm almost certainly going to keep working, and eventually switch to working on interesting open source, hopefully for another 25. Then something like metal-detecting on the beach, and returning people's lost items. :)
- richardw 3y agoI've moved from a paid-off house in South Africa to Sydney, where most things are so ludicrously expensive that I've reset my finances back 20 years. Worth it for my kid, but man there is no retirement in my near future!
- neilv 3y agoKudos on making the investment for your kid. No matter how challenging it might be at times, you'll know it was the right decision.
