Hehe, nice topic.
Since I have a job (university Professor) that is just plain fun, retirement is not among my worries, because:

1- In that job, the older you get, the better it gets: your reputation increases, students work for you, you spend your time writing papers and going to conferences, and you make $150k/yr with summers off (But I am not there yet!)

2-Therefore, I wont mind working up to 70. Again, doing research is pure fun.

3- To ensure some extra income, the way to go is to strike a few good patents (I am working on one right now) and create a couple of stratups where you place your students. But the trick is not to get too involved in that business crap.

4- Boredom once I retire ? I don`t think so.
With a little boat and a fishing rod, I can keep busy all day long on the water.

5- Maybe by then, I will have time to rebuild the motor of my 911 SC.

6- I may retire in France, where heath care is not an issue.
