many of the most idle retirees seem to die fairly soon.

Yup. I'm planning on it.

This old soldier and blue-collar worker retired last year at the youthful age of 63; the aging body just can't keep up with the young'uns anymore.

I still work a few hours a week for exercise.

I'm not wealthy but have a comfortable retirement.

Continuing to work is keeping me healthy. If I retire, I won't be able to save enough money to go to Việt Nam. That is quite sufficient incentive to continue working. It also keeps me slim.

People die soon after retirement because they don’t do anything.

Plan your retirement, keep mind busy and stay active.

I plan on retiring from my place of employment in little over a year from now. 34.5 years is plenty long enough to work at the same place.

Time to work in my shop, work at fishing, work at hunting, work at any damned thing I want.
