Are you mid-50s? Do you still work full time?

I'm the only woman I know of my age who works full time.

Admittedly I have a small circle of people I know and none of them have glamorous or high flying careers.

I'm a childminder so I'm busy long days, 5 days a week. Can't drop a day as I'd lose income. The parents that need childcare 5 days a week because they work full time are much younger than me.

Yes, 60s and in tech. Thinking about retiring this coming year.

Yes am 50 and work full time. I hope in five years to be able to drop some hours. I am exhausted but need to pay mortgage.
