Take a deep breath. If you’re in your 20s, 30s, or even 40s, your retirement age is a choose-your-own-adventure story. The economy will change, your life will surprise you, and your definition of “retirement” might flip-flop a dozen times. The fun part is you can adjust the dials—save more, work less, pivot careers, or start a side hustle.
Maybe it’s 62. Maybe it’s 70. Maybe it’s “never,” because you found work that feels like play. The question isn’t just “What will be my retirement age?”—it’s “What will I do with all that freedom?” And that, my friend, is the most exciting part of the whole adventure.
Go easy on yourself. You’ve got time to figure it out. And when you do, that number will feel just right.
