I stopped at 58 (now 63). The last 6 years of work were taken up with short term contracts – usually maternity leave covers or specific projects – lasting from 6 months to a year each. I was lucky to have secured several of these more or less back to back with few gaps, but decided to take “short” break after the last one as it coincided with a planned 2 week holiday. I’ve never got round to going back but am far from idle. Recently, I decided to see if my photography skills were good enough to earn me some pin money and have been happy to discover that people seem to want to pay me money for my images. It won’t earn me a living, but I cover my costs, keep busy and it’s growing slowly as people are starting to commission portraits.

So, I’d say, if you possibly can stop, then do. There are other things in life ….
