Retired by 64, dead by 68!

Enjoy the journey and stop worrying about the destination.

Nicely said. I concur on that. And one thing I'd suggest is just on the journey be cognizant of 'detours'. Sometimes when you want to get out at a stop. You can't. And then one may have to go 'off-road'. Handling that stuff is probably when one gets down to it is more imporant than the destination....;-)...I know This kid is learning.

Every time I read this thread title I think about my mom. She retired at 62 and died at 94. She wasn't particularly active or engrossed in any special activity. She just lived her life as it came. In any case, I wouldn't worry about retiring being the cause of death.
