That may be true for many workers but some employment activities are less stressful and people keep working for years after 55. My MD finally retired at 73 and is enjoying his retirement. He loved his patients.Quote:

Wow. And I have been planning to work until 70.
I still am. But I feel fortunate in that I have a lot of autonomy over my work life. I would have to think that razz has a point--if you love your job I don't think you're going to have the kind of chronic stress they're talking about.Quote:

Bbc reports this long standing myth is fake in a 2012 article.

That said, I retired at 60 and expect to live to 99+, at least that is my plan governing my finances, dwelling and access to services.
