As if we didn't already know this scientists have finally confirmed common sense. Retiring is a mild form of suicide. Human beings are meant to earn their own way through life and when they are no longer capable of it they really aren't supposed to be around anymore. Not retiring gives people a purpose in life a reason to go on living.

I agree! While retiring sounds nice, I believe that after a while I would begin to feel as if I have no purpose. I think that if and when the time comes, in my case, I will work part time doing something I enjoy. Unless I am extremely wealthy and can afford to do nothing but travel and entertain myself the rest of my days! -

The old addage of finding a vocation in life is part of the problem, we're all so tied up in our careers/work/jobs we leave little space for vocations that can continue well into old age.My father in law died not long after retiring, he was sick also but it didn't help that he had nothing else to do for his life. He gave up work then gave up life - what a waste. -

I was just temporially mad at my hubby and thinking, " Damn, I would hate to be retired with you." We would be at each other's throats all day. I plan to work/volunteer somewhere until I can't.
