I am 63, but I have a 18-year old high school senior that I need to get through college.
The recent divorce didn't help my financial state, but it certainly helped my mental and physical state and will probably extend my life.
Finally, retirement can be a death sentence if you don't have a second career in mind. I plan to retire at about 70 and become a full-time cabinet maker.

I’ll retire the day my youngest graduates from college, which hopefully is only five years away.

They cited a stat today on Fox that 77% of people are now living paycheck to paycheck - how can any of those people hope to retire?

“delaying retirement”
Obvious consequence of living longer. Otherwise you’d be expecting your fellow citizens to support you for more and more years after age 65. Makes no sense.
Actually, I’m delaying my retirement now because of the weak economy and the low current value of my vast financial holdings.
