38 yo? Still a long way to go......
BUT it is at this age that you gotta seriously start thinking about a job that you CAN work in till 62. CAN doesn't mean must... it just means a job in which you can endure till 62. You gotta choose the correct job. And it's not necessarily one that pays highest but one where you can (again not must) work as long as you want..
I switched to my current job when I was below 30yo (this is my 18th year) and i foresee that I have no problem staying on till 67. BUT I will probably leave at age 57 or 58 cos I plan to have a good 25 years of post retirement till death..
Thanks, you have given me something to think about. Although, at this point I can't think of many things I like doing. I am an IT guy with no interest in IT. I am an electronics engineer, and didn't have much interest in it either and now I am totally outdated.
The only thing I like is finance. Maybe I will try to find some work related to it. I work in banking IT, one of the reason I chose to work in a bank is because I like finance.
