Even those at work presently are not planning to get retired soon despite knowing that they are due for such, if the nature of work we do has some more important benefits it served us then we couldn't have wanted to get retired soon because of those incentives, power and the privilege we gave as an opportunity to have served under such capacity, if one retires he has no working opportunities reserved for his earnings any longer, but when one is tired already, he has to retire to get himself alright and leave by what he had worked for.
I do not understand that a person who worked so many years working and making a good living can live without doing work and getting an early retirement. Frankly speaking, if a person can work, he should work till the time he is old enough to retire.
As per my experience, those who took early retirement either got engaged in some sort of illness and some who got early retire even died early after getting retirement.
Nature wants us to keep a balance between work and rest, Total rest and total work, both will lead to bad results.
