Next year I’m turning 50 & also become eligible for retirement. Retirement age in my country for the general population (men) is 65, but the judiciary has separate rules. I’m seriously considering retirement but I have older colleagues who are still working because they say with the life expectancy rising who knows how much that great pension in the present will be worth in the future, so why not keep it going for an additional source of income?
If it means continuing an/my OK career where I can work from home, I’d probably keep working to a limited extent because:
I need to keep busy
The extra money is always nice
If it involves showing up somewhere I hate, then probably not.
