Retirement will kill you? What about sitting home on your a** all day on welfare?
I find most retired people to be quite active as they are use to having to get up and do things and would be bored doing nothing. Stay at home moms aren’t bringing home the paycheck but are working.
I don’t think it’s retirement, it’s laziness that will kill you.
My grandfather was healty until 79, when he died from a superbug in a hospital where he went in with a very minor problem. He told me that he had friends who retired and their idea of retiring was drinking beer and watching the Cubs on TV. Generally, they were dead in 2-3 years. My grandfather was always doing “something” creative or constructive after he retired, for himself or for others. He was NEVER bored. I have never forgotten this.
BIG BUMP to your post no 11, Mac.
