If You Retire… You Expire… Is It True?

[Prince]

When people talk about retirement, it truly makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe I have some screws loose? Or perhaps I just love the grind, the work, and what I do. Either way, you’re not going to find me retiring. The goal for many is to retire and never have to work again. That’s just not me.
Why do I say that?
I truly believe that when you retire, you expire. To put it more bluntly, you’re basically jumping into a grave the day you stop working.
Morbid? Maybe? Truthful? I truly believe so.
In this article, I want to lay out my case as to why you should rethink your strategy to retire and why it may be a better option to keep working (even if it’s only part-time).

Good article and I agree.
Given the chance I'd "retire" today, but my wife and I talk about that fantasy all the time and both of us know full well that being able to retire actually means we'd likely be doing different work at a slightly more relaxed pace. Lowering stress could help with longevity too as long as you don't retire straight to the couch....
