I agree, and I also think the idea of retirement is much different too. Retiring at 65 ? Are you kidding me ? Mick Jagger is still rocking and rolling and he's at least 65.

When you are 65 you still have a good 20 years of viability left in the work force. Raise retirement to 75, IMO.

As for me, I'll work till the day I day - whether that is 85, 105, or 45.

I'll be 65 within a month. Trust me, there ain't 20 years of viability left in this carcass. I'm going to collect full benefits baby!!!

Oooops, I lied. A month and 3 days.

OK, fair enough but consider this: I'm 42. I have pushed myself and pushed myself. It's all I know. If my heart blows up before then, I would rather them kill me painlessly than live as a vegetable.

Of course, I have never smoked or done drugs or drink so I stand a decent chance of reaching 80 in decent health.

Go back to when you were 42. I am sure you thought you were still going for another 42 years, lol.... (respect given, trust me)

simply for levity.....when I turned 40, I deemed it as the age of the "glorious sword".......

I was lucky enough to have the genes and bank acct that saw a female 20 yrs. both forward and backwards.....

I hit the wall at 50 in the pain threshold of 'fk me'......it was inevitable and I don't biatch about it.....

if one sees 60 w/o issues, they're the biatch master blaster w/o a blue or any color pill......
