for me thats a loaded question
both my grandfathers died long before retirement, and both my grandmothers lived well into their eighties

its my folks that are doing well in their retirement
getting both a pension and SS. retirement home is paid off too.
medical bills aren't too bad yet.

but dad got the shaft last year when the state finally realized the had built on their property and were living there. they have 5years of property tax the state wasn't collecting on.
