in answer to your post #74…add tired to that – lol. But there are many reasons depending on the people I would guess.Some just finally want to relax a bit and have some fun away from the daily grind. I’m 66, would love to retire. I have had serious illness in the last 9 years(more than one). I am self-employed as a massage therapist, and I’m a bit tired. Have been doing it for 19 years. Since July, 2012, I have worked exactly 2 months due to illness. I am starting to work again this week, as SS does not cover everything, and any reserve in the bank is long gone, unfortunately. Another question to ask…why do people of retirement age keep working? Love of job? need money? need to feel useful? don’t golf?
