A lot of my older friends and relatives have hit retirement age in recent times and practically every one has chosen to continue working in one shape or form because they either enjoy what they do or just want to keep their mind and body active in their "retirement" years.

The only reason to keep working is you want or need the money.

You can keep your mind and body active and enjoy doing loads of things that aren't work.
