What a ridiculous article. There is more to this life than work. Yes, you can work until you drop if you enjoy what you do and if it is not a physically demanding job.
Having enough resources to allow you the FREEDOM to do what you want to do and when to do it is the objective of most people. Unfortunately, most people don't have that option. One-third of retired Americans have SS as their only income and for two-thirds, SS is more than half of their incomes. And many studies have indicated that most people over 50 have very little put away towards retirement.
For most, the "work until you drop" will become a necessity, not a goal. Trying to put a happy face on 70 and 80 year olds asking, "Do yoiu want fries with that?" is not my idea of your golden years.

Those jobs will go to college grads, anyway.
Also have to consider that once you get close to retirement age, employers start looking for reasons to fire you. They want to avoid having to pay retirement pensions.
Anyone that swallows this horse crap deserves to drop dead on the job at 70 years old.
