I certainly did. Worked part time for “early retirement” from 55, and then fully when I hit seventy (four years ago).

health care can be a big expense for those who retire before age 65. Your employer will no longer be there to contribute to premiums.

The people pulling the wagon up the hill looked back and realized their sacrifice was for nothing...

The ‘elites’ are going to be the ones hurt in the long run... and that’s a good thing.

What a minute! You mean one of the “experts” has just now thought of this possibility? I figured this out over a year ago. The older than 55 population has been told repeatedly that we are useless and no longer needed because the younger folks can handle it.

So, the engineer that has the expertise, and the plant worker that knows which part of a machine needs replacing every six months, and the elderly office manager that knows when every report needs to be filed, have retired and are now out of the work force. Most that remain are hires that check the correct boxes but who actually have no clue when it comes to performing the actual work required. Good luck!

I’ve been hearing for years that there is going to be a boomer retirement boom in the 2020s, and now there is.

Somehow now it’s a surprise, and it should be no surprise I’m not going back either.

A few years of Bidenflation should wipe out their savings and drive them back to work. Maybe jack up Social Security age to 70 to help them make that decision.

Work! Work! You have a lot of people on welfare to support.

I've seen many retirements and many were experts who had it dealing with failures and broken processes. COVID-1984 and the lockdowns didn't create the failures but certainly brought them to the surface. Every jig-rigged process starting failing and many employees who'd been sounding the alarm to deaf ears for years just walked away.

They're not coming back either; it's too large a job to fix problems, especially systems and data problems, all to just break even (versus improving things). As multiple companies try at the same time to fix their decades of problems, the demand for talent far exceeds the available staff. The illegal aliens the Xao Bai-Din administration is bringing in isn't going to help either.

It's NOT just older workers...

Young white couples have decided with 'money for children Biden plan' that white wives can stay home and have kids too. The plan was to 'birth more minority democrats' but as usual with poorly thought out plans - this one will backfire... more white kids will be born. More grandcildren... We've been paying taxes for decades - it's time for grandkids to be born.

Many of the newly retired have soured on the hassles of working, with their small businesses wrecked by COVID and the Biden economy, or becoming tired of corporate bureaucracies and their mendacity, incompetence, and a walking on eggshells internal environment due to politics and a culture in which grievances seem spring-loaded.

So, for several years now, millennials have been whining about how they can’t get jobs because those darn boomers refuse to retire. So now, where are all those millennials who pretended to be wanting to take those jobs?

We have many younger relatives and friends in their mid 50’s/early 60’s, who will be leaving or have left their full time jobs to do part time or often working out of their home.

There is a small herd of them, who will be pulling the full time plug now or at the end of the year.

Many more will be making that move in the next few years as their last kids finish college or trade schools.
