When should a Muslim think about retiring from work?

Assalamu alaikum, folks. I've been wondering-when's the right time for a Muslim to step back from their career? Like, how do we balance earning halal rizq for the family with making more time for ibadah and serving the ummah? Just a simple question, nothing too fancy.

My dad retired at 60 and leads taraweeh now. He says he wishes he did it sooner. As long as you're not a burden on anyone and can focus on ibadah, go for it.

Simple: when you've saved enough for a modest life and your boss starts getting on your nerves more than usual. But seriously, make istikhara and plan for akhirah.
