[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find it sad that anyone looks forward to retirement. I love working. I hate being home. I have zero hobbies. My friends I had are all in different states I have not seen in person years. So a number is meaningless. I hope to work till at least 70. I am 62 now. Then maybe join boards, teach a college class, consult from 70-90. My uncle retired at 82. He has been enjoying life golfing and traveling and is now 92. He lives in Malibu. He is crazy rich from face he worked full time 21-82 at major companies as an executive. He would have gone crazy retiring young. He had 400 people working for him at 70. [/quote] My dad was like this. Retired at 74. Traveled a ton and golfed every day upon retiring. Got cancer at 76, dementia set in early at 78 from intense cancer treatment. Now 79 with round the clock home health care. [/quote] 75-85 is when most people seem to die. Look at the News. Joe Leiberman just died, 82. Everytime someone rich and/or famous dies, it just validates my thesis that most people die between 75-85. And literally everyone I've met that's over 90 is better off dead than alive. [/quote] I agree. In his case, his dad lived to 95. His mom died in an accident at 60. But my response was more to PP’s assertion that her uncle is health and got a lot time post retirement despite retiring later in life. I am sure my dad assumed he would also get more time. [/quote]
