I know a lot of people that are still working in their mid 60's. Most have more money than they will ever spend but just can't give up their status and don't believe someone else could do their job better than them.
That is why many people just can't give up their career. Their job is their identity and are afraid to lose it. I will say if that makes them happy they need to keep doing what makes them happy.
The one thing I have always told myself, I would never be one of the oldest persons still working at my place of my employment and I would never want to die still in the harness.
Life is short and when one gets in that 4th quarter you can see the end is near.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

While watching you moonlight on the roofs for me 10 years ago, it was quite obvious you were retired !!!!

Retired a year ago this December. The problem as I see it is, there aren't enough hours in a day.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
