My parents thought about retiring for years. They made plans for vacations and travell. They talked of all the fun things they would do when they didn't have to work anymore. This generation is different. Most of my retirement aged friends are still taking contract work from their old employeers. Or, they are starting their own business.
Their office equipment may include some things they never used when they were younger. I laughed when I realized I had added reading magnifiers to my shopping cart.
Maybe it is because there are more 'tools' than were around than my parents had. Maybe it is because my generation is more willing to break out of the mold, but I look forward to working after retirement - just for the fun of it.
