I just finished listening to the latest Wine Library TV episode (#665) and Gary and Tim Ferriss close by asking people about not retiring. I don’t want to retire for various reasons. I may want to slow down, but my grandpa who is in his mid-eighties, and just had a triple bypass heart surgery, is still working. For money, as a consultant, doing things that I’m excited about.
Don’t retire. Be prepared if you are forced to slow down due to medical reasons, but don’t retire. Don’t quit. Its part of the American Scream and you don’t have to buy in. Take it to the next level and work into your golden years. I bet that people who don’t retire don’t get Alzheimers as often, the never find that statistic that people who retire tend to die within 5 years of retirement, and they also make time to enjoy life outside of retirement in their whole life.
What do you think? Am I smoking crack? I bet I get a lot of disagreement on this post.
