I've lost three co workers who were past the retirement age this year, who never got to retire and enjoy life because they couldn't let go of work.

It's not work if you enjoy what you do.

I've already been where you are, but you have yet to be where I am.

Yes....liking what you do is the ticket. Makes all the difference in the world when one is considering retirement. I wish I would have liked my job cause i would still be doing it. But the job I had just plain ol S@#$ED, so I had to get out as soon as i could afford to. I was lucky enough to be able to do that......
