The railroad gave her a buy-off and then a good pension. I, on the other hand, will be working until I'm 70! But not voluntarily--I'd love to be able to retire.PBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672893473413051922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-60541974961343106982007-04-11T00:22:00.000-04:002007-04-11T00:22:00.000-04:00My dad retired at 62 and until his health started ...My dad retired at 62 and until his health started to fail, he enjoyed it very much.

That way, when you retire, you'll have interests and hobbies and a natural curiosity about things. Too many men work until 65 because they're frightened of retirement and then die soon after.<BR/><BR/>Me?

It makes no difference what I do with it by anyone else's standard. I get to choose.
