What do you plan to do at age 65?

We all think that (retirement) is what we work toward. I do not know very many people who truly are engaged in life that have retired. If you really can't wait until you retire, you either hate what you do, or you have a real plan on how you are going to spend your time if you retire.

Me, I will always work at something.

Poorly worded questions do not catch what most of us intend and that is not "keep working until death". Should have a couple more choices. Most will work at a decreasing rate to keep active but not, as implied, work ourselves to death. Future is that most will choose to be productively engaged and not "not work another day". I believe that studies have shown that those who go cold turkey fare much worse than those who remain active.

I will build a home on the southern end of Table Rock Lake in Missiouri and then build vacation homes for other residents. The south end has a lot of potential because it's far enough from Branson that it hasn't been over developed yet and land prices are still low enough for just about anybody to purchase lots.

SA lot of retired people rise, eat and sleep at all hours. They are dead and don't know it. As long as I can put one foot in front of the other I will continue doing whatever it is I do. My son once said, "You could die on the job." I responded, "Where's a good place to die, a hospital, nursing home, in bed? I'll keep plugging along. Thanks.
