So true we have to live life as we age cause life is to short. When you’re working its best to try to pay off any debt as fast as you can. I know when I was in my 20’s I just wanted to buy the next brand of clothing or handbag. As I got older all that materialistic stuff got old. And when my dad passed away 9 years ago at the age of 66 he really didn’t enjoy being retired and living life with my mom. That really made me think to get my butt in gear and start saving a lot more. So I can retire when it’s time and just live life with no struggles It’s never to late👍🏽
I will miss beautiful good heart Hoda, she is such a joy to see every morning, off topic I retired at age 48 so I am in my late 50s. Many of them resisted me because they couldn't understand the idea of not working if it wasn't necessary. I considered the phases of my life. I worked very hard to achieve what I have now, but in my last years, I owe it to myself to "stop and smell the roses." In my instance, I departed the nation after retiring and currently reside in Latin America. It made it possible for me to appreciate my new surroundings while escaping all the bad things that were going on in America. Nobody that I know of regrets retiring has yet to come to me.
Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.
She made her millions. Now it's time to go spend/inves t them. It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than a million dollars by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I can understand this easily. Lessening her load with two small children as a single mom at age 60. She does not have forever to spend with her daughters.
No one made her have to deal with small children at the age of 60. It was dumb. She has saddled them with the prospect of elder care for her when they are still minors.
@@nickbarcheck1019I was thinking the same thing. I retired recently and the first few weeks I was bored. I didn't enjoy the job I had and thought I would find another....The difference is She has family to enjoy. I have found some volunteer opportunities to focus on.
I turned 60 last nov and was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in January went thru all the treatments and Dr said now go and live life , I put in my notice at work and retired 2 years earlier because i did the math too. We are all on borrowed time. Go do you while you can. So I am too. Congratulations Hoda
😢 Being 64, I so get this! I love Hoda, and will miss her! She is such a huge presence at NBC. I've always loved her compassion, empathy, and strength. She is a rarity in show biz. 😢 wishing her my very best❤
She's going to be harder to replace than they think at NBC. She made it look easy and wasn't afraid to share real emotions. She was professional and obviously liked be everyone including the guests.
Turning 60 definitely changes how you view your life. While you realize your mortality, and that your health is precious, you sincerely consider how do you want to spend this "third act" of your life. Thank you so much for the gift of YOU Hoda, and the joy you brought to so many of us! I have no doubt you will continue to spread all your positive energy as your journey expands. Wishing you all good things in your future! ❤
Good for you Hoda! I retired in 2018 at 60. I had the feeling it was time. I had given 40 yrs of service to others, and knew I was still young enough to enjoy my life, and it was finally time to give myself service of what I knew I deserved. So glad I did because it was right before Covid. I lost my closest sister of 3 in 2021. I lost my only child a son 47 yrs old from a form of Cancer. My brother died in 2023, and and a niece the same year. While my grief has been overwhelming during this time, I am so thankful to God for giving me that time to grieve the way I definitely needed. Sometimes we have to look deep for the blessings, and when we look deep, we will always see a silver lining in every experience in life. I am a Christian and my faith is strong knowing I will see my beautiful son and family in the new world ahead. John 5:28,29. Congratulations to you, your beautiful daughters and family. Hope you all can spend a long and loving life together as one chapter closes, and the start of a new one in this thing called Life. ❤🎉
You can tell they’re really trying to stay strong while announcing this on national television. This relates to the time I remember bawling my eyes out leaving a job in the past.
I’m 67 and I totally get it. SO many blessings to Hoda! Find the next slice of your beautiful life!!!!!!! I have tears too… you are loved by so many of your colleagues and by all of us!
Hoda, you have been the sunshine in the show lighting up the day for viewers. Your adoption journey has clearly encouraged opportunities for the kids waiting for parents. Your mother was also a big force always shining. During the Covid-19 shock in early spring 2020, your presence was a pure assurance to keep a normal life while there was full of uncertainty and anxiety around in the society. I will miss you for not being seen in the show but congratulations that you focus on your family. As I lost my mom much earlier than we thought, I know how limited the time is and this is the best way to avoid any regrets in the future. Thank you so much Hoda!
Good for you. Im so happy for you. Life is to short. I retired at the age of 60 and dont regret it. I'm enjoying spending time with my family and love every moment.
OMG, I am getting tearful just watching this. I love her and her team! How fortunate to have all that love especially in your professional environment.
Wow. Bittersweet, but it makes complete sense. Congratulations, Hoda... I'll miss your sensitivity and comforting smile first thing in the morning. God bless you and your beautiful family 💐
I am sending best wishes from across the miles, Hoda. You are one of the very few most inspirational individuals whom I ever have discovered and always will appreciate your calming and encouraging presence💗🙇🏻♀ Respectfully, Andrea S.
Hoda is the best! She’s so authentic and her compassion and dedication to her job always seemed real. Enjoy your children and thank you for greeting me every morning. . . you will be missed 🥰
I love Hoda so much. She is my favorite person on the Today show. She lifts my spirits And teaches me how to live in the moment and be grateful and happy. I’m going to really miss her so much!
Going out on top....that hit REAL! I've always loved the TODAY SHOW over my 60 yrs. My morning shot. This group has been the most cohesive. Truly family. Watching from The Bahamas for most of my adult years even on vacation.
Hoda, You've been "like a rock and a guiding light" to millions for so long... continue opening new doors and new possibilities. Thank you for just being you!
Congrats on turning 60. Today won’t be the same without you. But there comes a time to spread your wings in different directions. You’ll be around for that we are grateful. Spend time with your children. They grow up too fast. God Speed. ❤❤
When Hoda said she was so excited about moving to the suburbs and walking her kids to school and all of that i knew the writing was on the wall. Retire Hoda! Enjoy the kids
So happy for Hoda but so sad for us viewers and sad for the new viewers that won't get to watch Hoda..Hoda was literally the only reason why I ever watched. She is just a sunshine..a walking breathing sunshine. Go live your BEST life Hoda!! Thank you for giving yourself to us for so many years.
It’s not good bye, but so long! Congrats and best wishes to Hoda on her next adventure. The world will always be interested in all things Hoda-Godspeed friend!
Awe that made me cry also. I’ll really miss that smile and infectious happiness that she brings every morning. But I’m also so happy for her! She made the right decision. Best of luck to you. ❤
Hoda woman!!!! YOU DO YOU!!!! You are an awesome person! And I cannot say how much you joy you have brought to me since your WWL days watching from the Biloxi area. I majored in Broadcast Journalism because of professionals like you! THANK YOU! God is showing you the next chapter!!!! LOVE YOU!
I watched you on tv for over 10 years as a teenager at my Grandma's house watching every morning with her then as a young mom, and now at 30 still watching and feeling the comfort from you and the rest of the cast. That comfort had helped me feel some normalcy after my Grandma's pasing and it just won't be the same without you. You will be missed and celebrated. Thank you for always being an inspiration and bright face every morning.
She’s given the network so much of her life; she’s decided the rest of her life belongs to her self and her family. Wise decision, wishing her blessings the Lord.!🎉❤
Hoda you will be missed.❤ So proud of you and your decision enjoy your girls time flies and you can’t go back. These are the best years of your girls life. I can’t wait for your next chapter 😢
I will never get tired of Hoda Kotb sharing her journey from college into broadcast journalism. So grateful to watch Hoda Kotb from much of my 20s (im 36) Best of luck Hoda Kotb
Will absolutely miss Ms. Hoda Kotb! So thankful for the legacy she created while at NBC and that she will always be in the NBC family. All the best to her in her future endeavors and so excited for what she takes on next including having more time with her babies! She is such a light!
To those making snide comments,she has small kids and probably wanted to tell them. Kids can't keep secrets. This way her information comes out without weird speculations and with keeping her kids up to date! Be kinder!
I’m turning 60 in a month and I’m also taking life changing decisions in order to have more joy and happiness in this time that’s coming for me. I sooo get her. Congratulations Hoda ❤✨ May this be the best time yet!
I wasn't expecting to get all teared up but shes a beautiful person inside and out. I wish the best for her. Thank you for sharing your life with us throughout the years Hoda. You are an inspiration to everyone. Go & enjoy your kids.
She's a sweet lady and I want to wish her the best because I believe she deserves it. That said, it would be good if the show added another conservative to balance things out. I know that won't happen because of the current climate, but one can always hope :)
@@AndreaPucci-u8kNatalie burned her own bridges getting involved with lauer 😂😂😂😂never missed. Ann was professional and missed but burnt by lauer but for other reasons.
Chinese people ❤ Hoda! ! Very seldom do we find a person that genuinely shows respect for Chinese people on tv. You are a rare beautiful person. We will miss seeing you. 😘
Good for you Hoda! The same thing happened to me....I had a "what are you doing" moment and decided to retire this June 2024at 69!!! I absolutely love the new pace now. I love taking time for myself and family. You're right, we're only here for a minute. Enjoy your children. Enjoy your life. God's peace and blessings to you.
So sad but happy for Hoda Kotb! I love watching her and will miss seeing her on her programs! It will not be the same. She seems like such a wonderful person and is so uplifting!! Good Luck with your next season in life! I hope you come out with another book! ❤

Your children really do need a bigger piece of your time pie. Congratulations on this brave decision you're making for your family.
That will be limited in any case because she will be a senior very soon.

How is it "brave"? I imagine she has a boatload of money...
@@yvonneplant9434what do you mean
@penelope5500 it's always brave to stop doing what you know and what you're comfortable with in order to do something different.
Your career is not your identity people... Remember that...
Incredibly said
Amen
It can be a huge part of it, which is ok.
True.
Thanks
Smart decision. Don't work until you die. Retire at 60, do the math, downsize your life, enjoy. (Yes, that requires saving ahead of time.)
I said the same thing. I retired this year at 67 years of age. Going to enjoy my grandchildren and great grandchild. 👍🙂
Getting your house paid off is key. If you don't have your house paid off and debts cleared out, then keep working.

@@jm7804 with the pay she is earning for the last 26 years, I think she already saved enough to afford a comfortable retirement.

How OLD are her children?
They were never married, and yes, they broke up over a year ago. @Hey_its_just_me_to
Good for her. Retire. No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Spend time with family. Zero people say at the end of their life they wish they worked more.
Speak for yourself. Work is the most fulfilling thing in my life.

To those making snide comments,she has small kids and probably wanted to tell them. Kids can't keep secrets. This way her information comes out without weird speculations and with keeping her kids up to date! Be kinder!
I’m turning 60 in a month and I’m also taking life changing decisions in order to have more joy and happiness in this time that’s coming for me. I sooo get her. Congratulations Hoda ❤✨ May this be the best time yet!
I wasn't expecting to get all teared up but shes a beautiful person inside and out. I wish the best for her. Thank you for sharing your life with us throughout the years Hoda. You are an inspiration to everyone. Go & enjoy your kids.
Hoda was the face of ,,Today" for years so we surely will mis her and now is quality time with her fam.
She's a sweet lady and I want to wish her the best because I believe she deserves it. That said, it would be good if the show added another conservative to balance things out. I know that won't happen because of the current climate, but one can always hope :)
😢😢😢😢 Thanks for all the memories Hoda
Thank you Honda for being with your viewer family for so many years. Love your family. Enjoy your life.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hoda is so very special! Her warmth is somehow felt through all of her broadcasts. God bless you Hoda Kotb!!!
"We are family." REALLY???? Tell that to Ann Curry!
Or Natalue Morales or Amy Roback?😮😊
😂
@@AndreaPucci-u8k I believe Natalie Morales left on her own.
well we all have family members who are alienated or toxic.
@@AndreaPucci-u8kNatalie burned her own bridges getting involved with lauer 😂😂😂😂never missed. Ann was professional and missed but burnt by lauer but for other reasons.
The Today Show is losing their best asset. Hoda, may you have your own bigger and better show!!! 🎉🎉🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
@@JennyBlancoTours tough act to follow
Chinese people ❤ Hoda! ! Very seldom do we find a person that genuinely shows respect for Chinese people on tv. You are a rare beautiful person. We will miss seeing you. 😘
Her name is not Huda it's HODA!!!

I hate when that happens 😂
Good for you Hoda! The same thing happened to me....I had a "what are you doing" moment and decided to retire this June 2024at 69!!! I absolutely love the new pace now. I love taking time for myself and family. You're right, we're only here for a minute. Enjoy your children. Enjoy your life. God's peace and blessings to you.
So sad but happy for Hoda Kotb!
I love watching her and will miss seeing her on her programs! It will not be the same. She seems like such a wonderful person and is so uplifting!! Good Luck with your next season in life! I hope you come out with another book! ❤
Good Luck on your new adventure Hoda ❤
She can hangout with Kathylee
She has $$ so she can do it.
@@claudiaorozco7311 I don’t have money by for health reasons I had to anyway..:. It is a matter of priorities.. you can live retire and live very frugally…. I want to see my grandkids grow!!
I retired after 30 years of teaching special education and I was 60 and I’ve never looked back. It was the best decision for me and my family. Congratulations Hoda for seeing the obvious🙌🏽🙏🏽
From Sydney, Australia. I've adored you, HODA, from afar. Do amazing things. Truly, a gorgeous soul. Love you.
Cue the tears!
