There is something to be said for that.  I've known people who worked 
past retirement age, finally retired, and then died.  I've also known 
people that died right before their retirement age.  You never know how 
much time you have left so you have to take advantage of the time you 
have now.

My father is over 80 and still goes to his job.  He doesn't really do 
any hard work, but that is what he chooses to do.  He doesn't have 
hobbies like I have so he could either sit at home and watch TV, or go 
to his shop and be able to visit with lots of other people during the 
day, so it is actually better for him to go to work.

I could quit work now and have plenty of things to do, as long as I 
could figure out how to pay for it.  I'll have to keep working for 
awhile longer in order to try to afford to retire.
