I vote for status. Despite FI many years ago, my brother, a physician, refuses to retire because he does not want to give up his status. He lives and works in a community in which many people still refer him as Dr. <last name>.
Excellent point. I just spoke to a doctor friend this morning. He is in great shape at 70 years old. He is in a small town and they call him Doc. He told me that he will retire in another 8 to 10 years. It had nothing to do with money. So indeed different strokes for different folks.
