until we can't. I work with several, who collect SS and work part time.

Some to stay in touch with the world. Some to keep up with the bills.

Two were wiped out financially despite having planned for retirement. Second mortgages and divorce.

Even people I know who are well off, feel they are not in any position to retire. That surprised me.

We may wind up living in a commune. That wasn't so bad back in my hippie days. Weed farmers. lol
