All indications are that Baby Boomers (in general) have NOT saved enough for retirement.

Retirement is OK for a while, then most people wind up dying early while in retirement. Retirement basically means your done, used up, basically good for little.

I don't mind working, as long as I call the shots, take time off when I like, and don't have some no nothing 30 year olds around me.

Depends on the person. I don’t feel “good for little” at all. I found I don’t need a job to feel a sense of self worth. I keep busy, have time for almost all that needs to get done, have time for my loved ones, my pets, my health.
When I worked I had no time for anything even putting off doctor and dental visits, was exhausted at the end of my 11 hour day as a dept. head and never truly got away from the job. I’m not dying at all. I’m living for the first time in 40 years. Corporatations will kill you a lot faster than retirement.
