I retired at 55 12 years ago. No way I was going to work until I die. Some people never make it to retirement age. That's a real shame.
It doesn't mean you have to sit around and rot away. There is PLENTY to keep me busy and active even at 67 years old.

I'm doing just fine money wise. Health wise not as good but not too bad for now at least.

We deserve some time to do what WE want at the end of our lives.
