How many Mondays until you retire?
A year has about 52 Mondays, so the answer is the years until your pension age times 52. Someone aged 30 has about 1,930 Mondays until a pension age of 67, about 1,980 until 68 and about 1,830 until 65.
Here's the count for the common pension ages. Pick your country for the details and a calculator with its pension age filled in. For any date at all, use the days until retirement calculator.
