I guess I wonder if I’d end up getting a little bored after I retire. I already have trouble thinking of what to do in the evenings and on the weekends!
I guess I’d also miss the routine…
but depending on how much money I end up having when I retire, I wouldn’t mind going on a few fabulous trips all over the world!

I’m in academia and we literally cannot keep some people from coming in to work after they retire. It’s just one of those areas that people tend to really like if they’ve stuck it out that long.

I think the best insurance for never wanting to "retire" is to truly enjoy what you are doing in the first place. Now, for me, working as a Safeway clerk would lead me out of my gourd, but Sally seems to dig it! Once we find our niche, I think that staying active and productive is the way to go... until we drop!

Interesting, but definitely not for me. I love being home. I’m ready to retire NOW. 🙂

I work with a lot of people that go through a phased retirement….they work forever, then work part time for a while, and then either retire or die….

IMO I think it’s better to have at least some form of work to go and do. It keeps your mind sharp, gives you a chance to interact with other people outside of the people you usually do and brings in some money.
