yup, I'm 63.5, wife is a couple years younger. Still "think" I can work like I did 30 yrs ago. But in reality, I move slower, plan my lifting, turning, stooping, carrying before I do it more than I ever did. One wrong twist or stoop and I figure it will sideline me for awhile. I also feel it more the next morning. But... after I get moving, I'm usually good.
As for retirement, we have a good plan on finances that will allow us to retire in 3.5 yrs when wife hits 65 (Medicare age) and when I hit 67, good Lord willing. Won't live like kings but we should be ok. Any days we work past that will be because we want to.
My life in retirement looks pretty busy as we plan to build a house on 55A we own and buy a couple more horses, put up an indoor arena, fish the pond and generally enjoy nature.
Biggest asset in retirement is good health. I expect to have aches and pains from exercise but I see relatives/friends and even people on this forum who have serious ailments, are in pain 24/7. I'll trade good health for a winning Lotto ticket any day.

Flax provided the fibre which w
