If you are working or doing something that you like, then I don't really want to retire too, but if you are just working just to survive I think most of those people really want to retire and live their life.
It all comes down to your workplace or job if you enjoy it then it wouldn't feel like you are working.
Let's be real here most of the workers or employee feel frustrated or wants to leave their job not because of their actual workload, but because of their workmates.

Willingness to retire early or later in life depends on the kind of job that a person does, if it's the typical 8 to 5 hours jobs and any other types of jobs that is physically hard, the desire will be high. If you love your job and it's not mentally and physically stressful to you then ofcourse you wouldn't consider retiring, you can work as long as your body and mind can take in old age. The human body and mind are supposed to be active because we're created to always function and be productive, although our productivity can reduce in old age but we're supposed to keep going as long as we can. When I'm old I'd definitely want to quit hard jobs but I won't quit easily on jobs that requires deep thinking like monitoring my investments and diversifying my funds into other profitable ventures.

Absolutely right, there are jobs that are energy and time consuming, as you advance in age your body won't be able to keep up with those type of jobs and you may need to retire...you said it all, in old age people are supposed to be focused more on making money from investments or jobs that just requires thinking or initiative, after all it is said that age comes with wisdom..A lot of us are working a lot now that we are young so when we get old we won't have to do so much that might end up affecting us at that age, work hard while you are young and reap the benefits of your hardwork when you advance in age.

From my understanding of life, there is time for everything. A time will come for you to retire whether you like it or not, because you are not the owner of your body. It's good that at old age, you relax and have fun, only if your job is related to having fun. This is why you should try and have an investment that can take care of you or that you control. You can be in charge of such investment till you are gone.
