Americans are worried about retirement.

My understanding is that the boomers and subsequent generations will be receiving a large inheritance. In any case, if they're still active, they should not retire - I know someone who just left the legal profession a few months ago, and he's already hating it, so I told him to come back.

To enjoy retirement, one must stay busy. Such as with hobbies and whatever. Must stay active. If one retires so they can sit around and do nothing, it's a big mistake then to retire.

I have been retired for ten years, but I try to stay active with hiking, ham radio, motorcycle riding, RVing and more.

I agree.

I'm a bookworm, so I have a pre-retirement project, assuming I ever retire, which is to start a University of One - it will have a student of one and a professor of one. I will read the books that interest me, then write articles and books about those books. I have also started a book collection, which is annoying my sister no end.

Reading and writing are my passions, which is one reason why I chose law, as opposed to surgery.
