I am very much still working. I recently completed residency and fellowship, sooooo I have a good 20-30 years to go.

I fit into neither of your choices. I stay home with my kids, so it is work, but I don't make money, and it isn't the same as retirement.

I don't think the poll mentioned anything about making money. In that case, sounds like you fit into the working category.

We're a ways from retiring yet but I'm looking at changing careers when the project I'm currently on wraps up in a few months so my wife and I can work together/be together more, and I can chauffeur her around more than I already do too, lol. Reading that reminded me of my Grandparents. She never did drive, he would drive her to church on Sundays and wait in the car for her while she was there, haha. Fond memories. |

I also found it interesting to read what some members shared about what they do for a living and who may be retired. I wonder on all the car sites I've joined over the years who works and who's retired and who logs into the site from work because some of the replies come so fast during "working hours".
We go back and forth for months or years on these forums, only knowing people by their handle and what they post. I think its easy to forget there are real people behind all this, especially when some get into flaming each other. So, in terms of how many are working vs retired, looks like the old and trusty 80/20 rule applies here too |

So far 136 people have voted in this poll, I've always wondered about how many are in this forum. The system doesn't allow anyone to vote twice. There are probably a few more who haven't voted, now's your chance. The mix will most likely continue to follow the 80/20 split but am just curious how many are members of this forum.

I'm twice retired, once at 44 after 21 years in the military and then again at 64 after 20 years as a federal contractor. Enjoying life while volunteering at the VA, Red Cross and Meals on Wheels and serving on several local boards and committees.

Some might say you failed at retirement I was told by a retired friend of mine that if I retire and then go back to work, I would have failed at retirement. Then he went on to say that retirement sucks because you have no vacation time, no sick time, no time off, no company benefits, no subsidized 401K or pension. Ha ha ha, I ignored him and retired

Yeah, you may have wanted to create a third option, for those who retired but went back to work. Being fully retired is different from retired from one job, and got another.
Retired from the US military, and in my 2nd career. |

So, for the purposes of this poll, you can only vote in one category... 1. I am still working (this means you are basically working full time and have never retired) 2. I am retired (this means you are either currently retired or you retired but went back to work either full or part time) |

Believe me, I do. With my timeline I look at this as another prime opportunity to do some buying. To paraphrase (quote?) Warren Buffet "...be greedy when others are fearful."
