Anyone still working full-tine in their 60’s?

I worked full-time until i was sixty-five as I had always intended and found it no problem. My mother worked until she was sixty-five and my father until he was seventy, and would have worked longer had he been allowed.

Still working four days a week at 67, also have one daughter and her children living with us, so cooking for six, childcare, and constantly clearing up after them.
I would like to take a bit more time, but I’m looking forward to the littlest one starting school, so that my day off, is actually a day off!
I like working, but my evenings are usually spent spent sleeping on the sofa.
I’m not really complaining, but I must admit I certainly don’t have the energy I once had.

I worked until I was 60 and then gave up full time employment and drew my state pension. However as I had been an academic I continued to do research and consultancy work for colleagues at the uni for several years. I also built up a part time online selling hobby into a very profitable side hustle which I still do.

The problem many older people meet when they are "waiting" for their state pension is that they are no longer physically fit enough to do full time work - or possibly even part time work. If you are fit you have it made - plenty of cash in hand work available with the current shortage of skilled tradespeople. Cleaning, jobbing, gardening, handyperson etc.

I worked full time until I got my pension at 62. I would have struggled if I was a couple of years younger and had to work to 66, as I was exhausted and stressed. There are many others like me who cannot afford to give up before getting the state pension, especially single women.

I went from volunteering 3 days a week 4hrs a day to full-time when I was 64-67 working 40hrs a week,then retired again when I was 67,I had already retired first time when I was 60.

I retired at 59 from my full time teaching job. I was already feeling it, and I’m convinced that I couldn’t have worked for very much longer without at least reducing my hours, or choosing a less demanding job.

I did it but so enjoyed my job that it was never a chore and my body was kind enough not to give me grief and spoil things. Retired now and, to my surprise, loving it too. Did phase out gradually though.

I think that four days could be pretty exhausting, depending on the type of work you do.

Plenty of us still struggling on... full time..no choice..no alternative...
And 4 days is NOT full time... try 45+ hours a week...every week.
