I couldn’t hack it any more and left a month before my 60th , it was too physically difficult ?

I was working in a nursing home for the elderly mentally infirm. I could have retired at 60 but hung on until I was 62. I wanted to continue, but the work was just too physically demanding.
I love retirement.

At 60y. I loved my job at the hospital too where I’d worked for more than 30y. I was a good 6y off getting my state pension so we did our sums carefully to budget accordingly. No regrets whatsoever.

I’m a few years away yet, but did you have to or want to?

Or did you wish you’d finished earlier or later?
