I have a 90 year old brother who still works 7 days a week as a designer. Currently designing a sclupture for a Napa Valley Winery. He is flying in to visit us from California and was interested in attending a concert. Our Grandfather retired when he was 94 and refused to take Social Security as he said he didn't work for it. He had been a Sheriff for a while and managed a huge farm. He died when he was 102. The message is that you don't have to retire but if you do make sure you have something to do. I have volunteered for a couple of organizations, took piano lessons, play golf and I am no spring chicken. We travel all over the world and spent a couple of weeks in a Tuscany Villa, long cruises. Rather than feel lost in retirement go looking for things to do and don't allow yourself to fall into self pity, anger for where you are but do something about it.
