I never plan to retire. Sure, I will probably stop working full time, but I will probably always have some type of part time job. There are several reasons:
1. Retirement is strictly a post-WW2 phenomenon brought about by the unprecedented prosperity of the era. Before WW2 very few people "retired". The economic conditions which allow lengthy retirement are passing.
2. You rest, you rust. I have seen this many times. Working a part time job during your "retirement" keeps you physically and mentally active.
3. The seniors that I know who work seem to be more in touch with people around them, complain less, and enjoy life more.
4. I like to work.
