I think this really hinges on how you interpret the meaning of "retirement". Stop working and hang out, travel in a RV, drink and smoke heavily, travel, be a grand/great parent, all the above, none of the above. For me, I feel the urge to reinvent myself again when I turn 60. Self employed or corporate slave...no idea yet. I just know I want a totally new picture.

If I had enough money to walk away from my job today I would in 1 second. Into something else that excited me, involved people, and had a money making opportunity. I really dislike the Real Estate industry...filled with 'used car salesman' types...but think I could do well there and enjoy it. I currently work in technology.
