As an ole retired guy I will say a few things. If you enjoy what you are doing it's not a job. There was never a time in my working career I didn't want to go to work. I was a state law enforcement officer for 34 years and when I got to looking at what I was being paid for putting it on the line, and what I could get for not doing it anymore, I retired.
Now I didn't quit working I was still kinda young at 55 years old. So I went to driving school got my CDL and became a OTR truck driver. I did the OTR for about a year and it got really tough being away from home. I bought me a big rig and leased on to a company and drove mostly local until I turned 63 years old. I came down with cancer in 2012 and with the treatments and the way my health was then, I realized my working days was over. By the grace of GOD my cancer is in remission. But I still wish I could hold a regular job, but I know I cant, so I piddle to keep busy. I started buying these little tractors and work on them, I wood work and I love to garden.
I guess what i'm trying to say, don't retire and sit down, cause you want last long. If you want to work then work as long as you want to or as long as your health will let you. Retirement is different to everyone, and only that person can decide.
