Why wait until your 50s or 60s if you're able to enjoy breaks throughout your life?

I can't stop doing what I love... there are too many hobbies and interests now and that's not likely to subside any time soon... and travel is just a part of what I do (and likely whatever I do in the future). There are only three places I want to visit before I conclude travel is officially for the birds: Tokyo (just 'cuz as it reminds me of Coruscant); Egypt (oggle at the Pyramids in person); and Luna (yep, the moon). I'm about to go back to the middle-east later this month. Might even be able to visit Saudi Arabia for a brief few minutes. One more check on the passport is really all the majority of travel means to me now. The fact we're living longer concerns me only in that my personal burn rate is going to outstrip my investing prowess fairly quickly provided, as you put it, our health holds out. Hoping Grocio is the first of a string of successful startups I have a formative hand in. Fun, challenging, rewarding and I'm learning something cool every single day.

I take time off, travel and enjoy. I've just become pretty good at what I do and my services are in enough demand that I can "decide" when to concentrate on work and when to not. So why retire?

After that, what am I supposed to do? Work gives folks something to do and it feels good to be productive.

I just hit 50 and still feel good and really enjoy working.... As long as I find challenges, I don't think I'll ever retire until I am no longer to either physically or mentally "do the job"...
