I've heard Suze say this. But how is someone who is *clearly* financially ready to retire before the "usual" age putting people before money if they keep working when (a) they don't need to and (b) they'd rather not? Seems like they are putting money first.
Mr 29.....
I have always said that if you like what you're doing...keep doing it! But if you would rather be enjoying life...thru camping, hunting, traveling, or volunteering, etc. Than save & invest your money at a young age, so you have options at age 50-60.
I have known people in the Fire Service who didn't want to retire, but were forced out because of their age. They didn't have hobbies or a life outside of the Fire Service, and were "Lost" after retirement. Many die within a year or two after they retire.
I have also noticed that many of them are working part-time fire jobs at the local Airtanker base, or work as "call when needed fireman" on large fires, which is great, if that is what you need in your life. Its hard for some firemen to "Let Go" of what they were...and I think that is true in many professions.
So, my point is.... it's not always the money thing, that keeps people in the workforce... It's that Position in life, that makes them feel good about themselves. I think Suze "Feels good about herself."
