When do you plan to retire?

I don't plan on working until I'm 65. Not if I can help it, at least, but at the same time I don't have a plan in place as to when I might retire. I'm kind of just going with the flow at the moment.
Do you have any specific retirement plans in place?
Knowing you, you'll keep working long into your old age because it's something you enjoy. I can't imagine you lounging around doing nothing.
I'll probably dabble with something but I seriously don't plan on working too hard. Whatever it is, it won't be something I regard as work... I might just keep on my luxury travel site where I go around reviewing luxury hotels and resorts in return for write-ups. You can't really call that work, can you? :)

Well no, but then I don't really call what I do work because I enjoy it so much. There are many benefits to working and I don't think stopping altogether is a good thing, even when you retire. Plus I imagine that medical advances will be such that we will be considerably healthier in our old age than is currently possible, so I don't plan to slow down too much.
Oh, rest assured... I won't slow down. Well, I'll try not to. When I stop 'working', I'm not going to be a couch potato. I'll just focus on the things I enjoy and some of that will no doubt be similar to some aspects of my work that I do now.
I feel very lucky that I enjoy what I do, that's for sure. I'd hate to be in a job that I loathed, even if it was handsomely paid.
