[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people who have intellectual jobs don’t retire because they love it, have worked their entire adult lives and can’t imagine not working. My law firm has at least a dozen lawyers in their 70’s.

Stay out of it. [/quote]

OP-part of it is because my father was a late bloomer. His career really didn't take off until his mid 50s. We're close and I know he is trying to make up for lost time.

I guess I'm not sure I see what the problem is. If your dad wants to keep working, and that keeps him rooted in the place where your mom wants to live - what is the issue? They are traveling - your mom wants to travel more? Is that the whole of it?[/quote]

+1. I'd encourage my mom to let dad keep working and them both to travel together and separately. Perhaps she could travel with her sisters and he could take trips he is interested in that she is not keen on. I have a feeling she wouldn't want him around as much as she thinks she would. [/quote]
