Default Retirement: When are u exitting the full-time rat race?
I'm sure there are a number of people here who run their own businesses, etc, but for the rest of us daily grinders in the full-time work force, -- When are you planning on retiring? semi-retiring? I assume most Pcar owners have a decent amount of disposable income.

I hope to be done full-time work by the time I hit 50 - 52ish..... 2nd child will be 17-19, so barring a large hockey scholarship, I'll need to work 3 days a week. 1 day for daughter's school, 1 day for son's school tuition, 1 day for living expenses.

Been maxing out on pension contributions and RRSP since I entered the fulltime work force at 23.

That's the plan...... 3 day work weeks, 4 day weekends.

I'm 25, and I'll probably never retire. I'm a workaholic for some reason. I guess it's the Romanian in me.

No intention of fully retiring ever, but now work less than I used to.
