I am 56. I have worked for myself since 1990. I figure that I cannot even think about retirement until 65 and medicare. Everything is paid for including college for my daughter.

My Dad worked for me driving a delivery truck until he was 74. He said he was afraid to retire because he worried he would not have a reason to get up in the morning. His only hobby was his Harley. When he was hit by an idiot and suffered for months in recovery it took it from him. His worries have come to life. I am painfully watching his decline.
Stay active and busy. Your mind and body require it.
