| I have a grandmother who must be 75 now and for the last ten years has refused to retire.
My Dad insists that he will pay for anything she need but she still goes to work for 6 days a week and some times 7 
She says it's good to stay active. But 6 days a week is a bit insane. 
I've just started the work life. But I'm hoping I won't be waiting for retirement in a few years time. But when the time comes retirement, I hope I will miss my work.  | |

I am 50 and I am certainly not idling.
It really depends what you do. It is hard to be a 60 year old engineer in a corporation for example. You don't learn new things as quickly. The techniques you have learned and mastered are probably obsolete. I have seen some of those guys get really depressed.
It is okay if you get into management.
