I am prepared to work until I am seventy. Based on family history I should then be able to enjoy 20 good years of retirement before I start to lose it physically, mentally, or both. My parents are both very active doing landscaping for themselves, neighbors, and their church among other things. My grandparents and great-grandparents also stayed strong and active through their eighties.
