It could be well deserved based on culture, but I also wonder if what someone in that situation deserves, should be something more meaningful. I am not saying that everyone has to cure cancer, but a lot of the retired people I know, are still looking to try and have meaning in their life, but it is more of a struggle in some way. If physically/mentally healthy for a few more decades than we generally are, do we change our culture to design a different set of life practices? If you were 70 and healthy, would you spend your time in front of the TV?

No, I hope to be out walking and doing things with my friends well into my retirement. It might not be camping or disc golf, but even if it is just regular walks around a park I want to stay active. My dad worked in an auto plant for thirty years. When he retired he had the opinion that he stood on his feet for thirty years, now he shouldn't have to. I really believe his low activity has led to some of the medical problems he now has, so I want to avoid that.
