Many people I know are 'semi-retired.' They have a regular schedule of activities each week, some of which bring in some money, others are just for fun. These folks remain quite vibrant over the years. The people "I" know who do NOT follow this sort of lifestyle, but no longer work 9-5 seem to get old very quickly... The idea of just sitting on a rocker on the porch may look nice when the alternative is slaving away in some florescent-lit hell, but the reality doesn't cut it. Here in Thailand, they quickly swap the porch for the bar, and that becomes home from 10am til midnight.
