Parents whose children were still living at home were the most willing to put retirement on hold until their nest was empty.

Yeah, duh!

When our youngest daughter is 20, I will be 65, and my husband will be 69.

oh lord. I don’t know how you do it! My husband was the tail end of two marriages and about 14 kids. By then his parents had pooped out and were too tired to discipline (my husband who is let’s say not the fold your napkin sort)

I had my last child when I was 27 and it was fairly tiring then, but at that time I was a divorced mom of two and working two jobs so that could account for some tiredness, I guess.

I’m 59 now and have been working full time non stop (no maternity leave nor child support) since I was 17. I have one more year to go before I retire from my “main” job.
