I mostly just feel sad for people working past 65. If you have to for financial reasons that is sad. Even worse is choosing to because you haven’t made a life outside of work that you look forward to getting to enjoy more after retirement. I love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else but I can’t wait to retire and have more time to do the other things I love. I plan on retiring before 60.

"I love my job and can’t imagine doing anything."

"I can’t wait to retire and have more time to do the other things I love"

Apart from the conflicting statements, if you can't wait to retire, you should just leave your job now. Sounds like you are only in it for the money
I love my JOB. But it’s still a job. I’d rather not have to work. Nearly everybody is in it for the money in every profession. You don’t see many people keep working after they win the powerball.
Nope, I’d be calling in rich the day I won the lottery, I might consider offering a couple grand to anyone wanting to cover my shift!
I am literally working towards retirement, that is how life works, I’m just lucky enough to enjoy my job, at the end of the day that’s what it is, a job! I’m sure the CEOs of the world are also, just in it for the money and looking toward their golden retirement!
I would think the majority of those working past 65 are doing it because they have a need to, not because they want to.

Promise us you’ll stay on avcanada if you win the lottery though. Wouldn’t be the same without you

So much anger. Perhaps you need to ask a physician (or therapist) if aviation is right for you.

If you’re a 65 year old boomer who feels the need to hold things up for younger generations to progress in their careers you’re either beyond ignorantly selfish and/or you’re making other people pay for your poor financial/life decisions. Get a life and touch some grass
Nope... been screwed by Boomers my whole life. I just don't hate people for making choices based on their personal situations. Nor do I expect others to get out of my way because I'm being a greedy little duck.

Take your own advice... get a life and touch some grass.... well, snow at this point... and relax. The universe will unfold exactly as it should, in time.

I'm not a boomer. But out of interest, a how have you been screwed by the whole of an imaginary label of a made up section of society your whole life?
