I think most of us didn't see this coming but, IMO, it's not so bad....who wants to be put out to pasture anyway? :noidea: I'd like to hear from ALL of you, not just those in the U.S. :)

Our parents and grand parents and great grand parents worked their whole lives. there is true spiritual dignity in human labor. Ever since God commanded it, man has tried to get out of it!

The way things are going at the moment, I very much doubt that I will be able enjoy any sort of retirement by the time I am 75. I suspect by that point the government will have spent all my SS, and taken my 401(k) to pay for their retirement (at age 40).

Not bitter, just pessimistic.

Will you be able to retire at 65?

No. At least not unless the Lord changes some things in my life and circumstances that will allow me to get out of debt before then, and the clock is ticking. The hard reality is that I will not have that option at age 65. I would have liked to have that option at least -- and the option to choose to keep working if that's what the Lord wanted. I feel rather backed into a corner as things are now and its just survival at that. (Not complaining, but a statement of fact.)

Do you think it's beneficial to keep going until you die?

Yes, people have worked until the die for centuries and they still do today. I wouldn't want to just sit and do nothing. I've seen that kill people amazingly fast. I'd rather be doing some kind of ministry for the Lord in my latter years, though, rather than just working for survival.

I have some elderly friends who are technically 'retired', but still work several hours a week doing the things they enjoy the most - helping others. I hope to be able to work until I can't remember how to get there.... I enjoy my work; I feel it is creative and helpful... and I love the folks I work with. I see people retire and become... couch potatoes and get bitter and feel some anger against the world... the ones who continue to grow and work seem to feel better and have more self-confidence and more joy in their lives. That's what life is about... there should not be a clock that says ... okay... you are 25 and you need to be married and have 2.5 kids and when you are 45 you need to downsize and when you are 65 you should retire and learn how play bingo. Grow... learn something new everyday - when you stop learning and growing and having something to enjoy and look forward to ....you begin to stagnate. :) Grow!!!

I retired at 62 and my wife retired at 60.

We saved our whole working lives to be able to do that and have enough to travel for a few years till we get too old to go.

I do work helping others, but not for money..... and for our church when needed and I can..

The secret of doing that is to set goals as to what you want and lower your standard of living to the point that you can pay yourself every paycheck. I've been saving since I started working at age 13.... 63-13=50 years

I saw my grand parents struggle when they got old and didn't want to follow thier footsteps.

I would love to retire from my current job! I pray that the Lord will arrange that and provide me with a career in ministry. I have no desire to quit working as I want to spend all of my days learning about him and ministering that truth to others. The reality is unknown as God has not shown me what will happen in my future. He also hasn't done anything to show me that I will be leaving the workforce anytime soon either.

Whatever the Lord wills I am game. I just know that as long as I seek his kingdom and righteousness I will be provided for.

In Jesus Name,

Gary

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
