Well, at 76, nearly 77, I agree many of my friends seem to have decided that they're just filling in time, waiting to die. I'm just finishing my third Masters degree, have been accepted for a PhD, work 3 days a week as a senior executive and just don't have enough time in the week for everything I'd like to do, although a 4 day weekend helps. I agree people limit themselves and it's sad to see.

Hi Bec, interesting article and a few things to consider. The one thing missing however is doing something for someone else i.e. - Volunteering. Yes, don't necessary think of everything you can do for yourself in retirement however perhaps think of what you could and perhaps should do for those people who are more vulnerable in our society. If you have spare time, think of the enormous positive difference you could make to someone's life. We get far more out of giving than receiving in regard to our time. Just a thought.
