Even if you plan to stay active, I think there are two actions to take right now towards retirement:
- Take care of your health through eating, exercise, mental stimulation and giving back to the community.
- Save for retirement even if you plan to be active. Any number of intervening circumstances can impair your ability to work or even work on projects (mental/physical health including accidents, health of your relatives.
These two actions maximize the probability that you'll be provided for, and if you end up in excellent health and are able to work on projects to the degree you like, you'll be that much better for it.
It's sort of the Pascal's Wager of retirement.
Well thought out opinion you got there. I really appreciate your input. Lets keep in touch.
Roger that.
