So funny, I just told my coworker today that I have no plans to retire. I’m your age and I don’t have any issues with my current job and it’s completely stress free. I make good money and I have a life outside of work. I enjoy the low cost health benefits, the funding of a pension and a generous 401k. So for now, I’m going to live in these blessings and continue with gratitude!

May I ask what you do for a living? I absolutely look forward to retiring because of how hideous my co-workers and bosses are.

[@ArizonaLuxe]

@broco6608 I totally understand. There were many times in my career where I had a job I didn’t enjoy. I’m at the tail end of my career and I am blessed with a job where my coworkers are spread across the country so there’s very little day to day interaction. And I have the ability to work from home a few days out of the week. That helps tremendously. I work in finance.

[@LifewithLissette]

I am not able to disclose what I do for a living and need to keep that personal but the bulk of my work is field work that consists of traveling which I love.

That's it! 1) Live the second chapter of your life with intention and purpose. 2) Take care of your health (mental, spiritual and physical) 3) Stay as active as possible 4) But don't feel guilty about doing nothing sometimes, or saying no. 5).

I’m just letting God guide me and I’m doing what I want to do. I love it. I feel like I don’t know. I can’t explain it. I just feel like I literally am going and have been telling friends, family people the truth when I don’t wanna do something. I don’t make excuses why I can’t come to their house party or go with them to an event. If I don’t wanna go, I just say I don’t feel like going. It makes me feel better inside to be truthful to myselfand to them. So there’s many things that I’m not going to do that. I’ve decided I’m not going to be complicit for anyone. I love your video.

Do not listen to anyone who tells you that you will regret not having children! It makes no sense for someone who has children to say you'll regret not having any. How do they know? Because they have them? That's about the same as someone without kids telling ppl they'll regret having kids. I know women who are over 70 that do not regret not having kids. I think sometimes when ppl say stuff like zyajones did, it is because they are not happy with their lives and although they may not realize it, they want everyone to go through what they did. She sounds really bitter actually. I'm glad to be here but my mother should not have had children and I think she would have been happier if she hadn't. She physically abused me my entire childhood and even hit me in the face once after I was an adult. It's more complicated than being told you should have children because you are female. Sorry for the long rant but your choice is your choice and no one should shame you for it!

I have a good job making good money and have been working from home since 2010. My husband is actually retired Military, but still choose to work a fulltime job because we can.

It truly is a blessing and privilege. POWERFUL WORDS! Congratulations to you for starting your career doing something you love which is art! I can't draw to save my life. Stick figures is the best I can do so I admire you for being able to express yourself thru art. Have you considered starting a channel that teaches others basic drawing techniques? If so, I will surely subscribe because I can use a little help. Thank you for your thoughtful comment and your support. ♥

Good chat. I'm thriving at 65! I'm living my best life, too, though my definition included retiring early. Funny bit: Every time I talked to co-workers to say goodbye, they asked "What are you going to do?". At first, I was perplexed and had no answer. Isn't retirement about doing nothing? Finally, the answer came to me. I would tell them "I'm going to live.". You mention your place in life, and the years behind you. Feeling better than when you were twenty-five. I think that's about the confidence born of all life's experiences, including relationships, career and owning a home. It feels like we've been training all these years, and now have a certain calm clarity. We may not know all the answers, but there are far fewer open questions than when we were twenty-five! I feel secure, able to handle the challenges sent my way, and the freedom to pursue passions closest to my true self. The Me I'd always wished for me. Thanks for a post worth watching. Best of fortune to you.

This whole comment made me tear up and smile the whole time. There is so much truth here and you said it eloquently and perfectly, especially the part about we have been in training for most of our lives. That is so true.

Thank you! I needed to hear as a little reminder as I’m getting ready for work..at 59 …im typically wearing jeans…vee neck tees…Keds sneakers and usually a pony tail with minimal makeup. My uniform for two decades and I’m fine with it! I will be selling my paid for home for a much smaller home so I can spend more time having FUN and less time doing housework. I’m single though, so I do it all - inside and outside and it’s a lot. Also, I have a friend (65) who is a gem…but she has a terrible habit of noticing every woman…strangers…and noticing how “old they look”. I remind her gently “not everyone has Botox and fillers injected every 60 days (as she does). I don’t…I’m far more wrinkly than her…but that’s okay too! I don’t have a duckbill for an upper lip and a frozen face. I’m going to retire in a few years…but I’m sure I’ll work somewhere part time a few days a week. I’m happier now at 59 than at 35 because frankly, I’m doing ME and don’t give a rip what others think! It’s incredibly freeing! Thank you Lisette! You are beautiful and so smart! 😉💜

I went thru a lot of heartache and lost so much time with my girls and family to then lose the job I had given so much of my life to, at 48 years old. I was devastated and hit rock bottom.

Going to another State this weekend to see my Daughter & 2 Grand Daughters as well as my Parents. I am taking most of my clothes with me & my Daughter is going to help me decide what to keep & what to donate. My wardrobe needs to be pared down so bad. So she’s happy to help me do it. Then back to work after a long weekend. And I’m going back to school to further my Nursing degree starting in January. I am scared to death & excited all at the same time. It’ll make the time that I actually CAN retire much more enjoyable. So it’s a no brainer. You are beautiful & I enjoyed hearing what you have to say. And girl you have GOOD genes! 😊New sub here!

Oh my goodness. This moved me deeply. Decluttering is liberating.

Luv your video!!!🎉 Keep doing you my friend! Butterfly era is an awesome way to describe this phase in life. I am a 63 yrs. old single woman of Dominican descent, who raised two sons alone and now is my time to be in the butterfly era. I still have no clue when I will retire. I am just enjoying my life! And I'm saving, also trying to pay my house mortgage in full and investing. Thank you for speaking up about the privilege of aging. I agree with you about stereotype. I cannot engage in conversations about pain & discomforts because I am also living a full & purposeful life. I eat mostly wholefoods and workout daily, I feel great. My life has never been better.❤❤
