What will you be doing at age 67?

[snagged in outlet 3]

I'm with you, Mike.

Al- would love to play ball some time with you.  I'm still playing 3 mornings a week with a bunch of young guys, full court, for about 60-90 minutes.  Now I can't run up and down the court with them all the time.  Got to pick your battles, play in spirts - one guy told me.  He was 40!  I'm 59.  Hope to keep playing for a long time, barring injury.

That’s 10 years for me. I planning on playing golf, fishing and hunting same as now and hope to have another 10 years after that. There are a lot of advantages with age, many of the fears and anxieties I had are gone, I just don’t care anymore. For most of my life financial and physical well-being seemed impossible  but  who knows maybe that will work out. 

          Well said,

 I had to quit work early because of a well worn out body. I would trade feeling better to finish out my work.  Mrs. BilletHead constantly tells me she will be very mad if I completely wear out by the time she retires and it keeps us from doing what we still can now.

I'm 65 and do pretty much what I did when I was 50ish.  Plus I've taken up golf this year, and only ever walk.  Been very fortunate given my orthopedic history
(two back surgeries, seven knee surgeries finally with two new knees, and a rebuilt right shoulder after a fall on the ice).  Absent anything drastic, hope to be roughly the same at 75.  Staying active really is the key.  That and keeping a positive attitude about life in general.

That is what  it is attitude. I been down the same orthopedic rd except I have had three knee replacements. a 4 way bye pass,. cancer, And a  rotted gall bladder that could have been the end of me . I still do the things I always  did but it just takes longer in this 78th year. Giving Up and moving to a condo is the sourse of some serious maritial discord around here.

Thats for sure Al. We got widows running aroundhere in there 70  that are knock outs. SEX and the SENIORS Iswhat its all about this area. 

I went to duck hunt on an older gentleman’s lake when I was in my thirties. I knew him and his wife really well. He wasn’t home at the time and I ask her where he was. She said he’s always in town for breakfast at the same time. I told her in a joking way to make sure he didn’t have a girlfriend. She laughed out loud and said “Tell her good luck!”

I've got 36 years to think on it so who knows. My main concern is staying the ours and retiring at 52 at this point.

Stick with it. My plan has always been 55 and that's coming up faster than I want. But I haven't wavered. It won't be full retirement but it sure won't be doing what I do now.
