I don't plan on retiring. Ever. All the retirees I know get bored within a few months and want to go back to work

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Graybeard 58. Now you know one who isn't bored and has no desire to go back to work. I am as busy as I want to be and as lazy as I want to be. To me it's freedom. I retired in Dec. 1999 at age 54.

Same here, Graybeard. My husband retired at 54, worked one more year under a special contract and then I retired with him at age 41. It's been 9 years and I'm not bored yet. What am I doing wrong? LOL

I've stayed at home raising my kids. Going back to work, I plan on working for as long as I can. I have many fries who can't wait to retire. My inlaws who retired 15 years ago, have NO schedule, sleep in all day are up all night and have no goals in their life.

I do not want this for myself. I want to remain productive for as long as I can. So looking forward to re-entering the workforce.
