I read an interesting book recently, the main point of which was 'avoid retirement and stay alive'. In other words, continue to work at something which has meaning for you for at least a few days a week. That is my intention, particularly as I have clear memories of my father retiring from work, retiring from life and dying within quite a short time.

Of course if our promised pensions don't materialise then we may all have to continue working longer than we've been conditioned to expect. It will be better for our mental health if we also want to.
