I think by the time we reach this age, we've all heard about friends like that.

I would like to find some part time work, but we planned well and I don't really need to, financially.

Work is fun, especially if you don't 'need' to do it, and only do the work you enjoy. For years now, I only take shooting assignments I want to take, sell some gem stones that I pick up 'if' I'm in the area (up along the Burmese border) rather than going up specifically to find stones at the right price, teach a lesson to someone I 'want' to spend the time with, etc. I like the work, but I only want it on my terms. And in retirement, it's good to continue to feel productive.

In US dollars, $25,000 or income + bank account to equal that. Malaysia, too, offers an incredible Retirement Incentive that includes governmental assistance in purchasing a house and car plus other perks, but the banking requirement is $50,000. Retiring in a magnificent
tropical beach resort with all the amenities of home isn't hard to live with...
