My dad mentioned how he had changed the bell curve. If you look at the stats, many people die within 12 months of retirement, and lots more within 24 months.

My dad served in the USAF for 24 years an retired as a Lt. Col. at age 59. He died at age 82.

My former boss did pretty good. He retired from the FAA and, he has a three digit employee number. He owned a business as well. He received retirement from the government for many years. He ran the business as a hobby. In his words he finally took "early retirement" at age 92 and lived to age 99. He only retired because he could not find any company on the planet willing to write insurance policy for him to remain as a commercial pilot after he turned 90. He loved flying and taking photos. Can't do that without insurance as a business. He took his last flight as pilot on his 92nd birthday and then sold the company.
