Many, many years to retirement, actually I plan to never retire unless I have to, even if I win the lotto, I would still work (admittedly less hours), but then again I love what I do, and I have noticed in my line of work (medical) that retirement can dangerous to your health. I havent ever seen a good study on the subject, but from what I have seen, those who retire with no new occupation that demands their time, attention, requires them to think, and get up in the morning, ie a "job." Such as a serious hobby they commit to it like it was a job -this group often says they cant see how they ever had time to work...., of the rest many soon seem lost and their future appears bleak, in my opinion, they seem to pass away soon (6 months to 2 years after retirement), or else start to show real signs of decreased mental capacity within that same time frame.... I believe we are designed to work our entire lives (for pay isnt required), once we quit our bodies sense we are no longer useful and give up. Over the last 8 years I have seen this played out repeatedly, with exceptions of course (but I believe those exceptions had I hobby they didnt tell me about). Of course those on this forum would be in the "employed" group as this hobby definately meets the requirements....
