I retired almost 17 years ago when I was 61.
As a teacher, I have had enough state pension and Social Security to allow me to live comfortably and travel.
• DQ#1- At what age do you hope to retire? How do you plan to incorporate your retirement in your personal financial plan?

I retired at 63 (13 years ago) to help take care of my ailing in-laws, especially when I found out that my state retirement benefits would be 70% of my current salary. Like Ms.Sue, that plus social security (and other earlier investments) allow me to live comfortably.
My salary was used for day-by-day living expenses, and much of my wife's salary was used for investments and extras.
Most of the tutors on this site have already retired.
