Workaholics should never retire. There just are not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Plus, you better like your spouse a lot.

Part time works for me. I get bored especially in the winter and I do something I love to do. Not to mention that it helps after the blood bath we took this time last year in the market.

Retirement is great! I was offered a buy out when I was 55 and I elected to continue working. If I had to do it all over again I'd be retired for 8 years instead of 1.

After 29 years of retirement my father still complains about never getting a day off.
