I was quite amazed that, given a choice of ~1000 channels on my service, there seemed to be nothing to watch!
But there was one program on a local public television station that was airing a piece about today's retirement issues. And the messages all seemed to be: work longer (recommendations were 67), upgrade skills/certification (one person went back to college "in his late sixties" to become a counselor), and so on. One comment by one of the people appearing on the program was that anyone even thinking about retiring in their fifties should have their head examined. My. I do not agree.
The program I was watching is from 2010. I think all the advice to work until you drop dead is not-so-good.
