I see that all the time but I also, in my late 60's, see folks who manage retirement - and not work - perfectly.
My best friend is a former Steeplechase jockey, trainer and Race Starter who transitioned to managing a facility on Long Island that uses horses therapeutically. He was there for over ten years. He did well, lived well and managed his finances well.
He still starts Steeplechase races but works at a golf course 3 days a week mowing greens and fairways. He is 70 and could still ride, but, as he told me a few weeks ago, "I had to get out of the tack".
We all do at some time...our own versions of "tack".
I'm done after this year but already have a remote gig lined up which I can do from South Carolina.
Seasons change.
