I've got a year and change on you AT, and you're definitely in better shape than I am. One of the things I'm liking about being retired is really having the time to work out. Of course it is also dead necessary. No worky, no healthy.
At our age we definitely need to stay active. But I don't know about that working until I drop, though! With what Social Security allows me, since I retired early last year, I can work 23 hours per week where I'm at and not be penalized. Also by working part time SS reevaluates my benefit amount each year for more money. When I turn 66 in three more years I can put in as many hours as I want. But I don't think I want to! Have you thought about working part time any? I don't know if I want to do this too much longer.
I'm going into my third lap of retirement and I'm finding I like it. A lot. My wife is always suggesting that I get a part time job but she is clueless about retirement. She is ten years older, didn't retire from teaching until I did and still works at making and exhibiting her art work to the point of being busy a lot. She is in China right not and won't be back until after turkey day giving talks, exhibiting and hob nobbing. I guess that is what makes her happy but I think she gives retirement a bad name.
Me, I just want to read novels, work in the garden, go to the gym, walk the dogs and set people right on the internet. Tough job but by gawd some one has to do it.
