[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal thought is that people are going to work longer if they are healthy enough.

A lot of the retirees/forced-out older managers and execs from my F500 company seem to not fully retire.  Even re-emerge with new full-time corporate jobs after a few years off.

My grandpa retired from a corporation at 65 and lived to be 94.  [b]He easily could have worked until 80-85.[/b]

If economics change in ways that make it useful or necessary for retiree age people to work, it will happen.[/quote]

If it's expected that I have to work FULL TIME until 80s I'd rather be euthanized.  Unless someone really loves their job to the point of passion, or they work some easy hobby job part time for social interaction nobody in their right mind aspires to be a wage slave till the day they drop dead with limited vacation time, living for a weekend, and having to answer to bosses and clients all day long majority of your day.  F this.[/quote]

THIS. I’m only 48 and will be LIMPING to work until I’m 55. I’ve already confirmed my DH that he’s gonna hold the bag after that. I’m BURNT OUT. I’ve been working full time since age 18 and have raised 2 kids without a single break. I’m crashed out. [/quote]
