Just read about a California man, Ian Thiermann, aged 90, who went to work for a Ben Lomand, CA grocery after losing his $700,000 life savings in the Bernie Madoff ponzi fiasco. The same post: http://www.christianretirement.com tells of an 85 year old woman who just retired and feared she would be unable to make it on her Social Security. Work till 100? The direction the economy is going now makes one wonder about that possibility.

It's great to see such inspiring stories. As long as you keep going - doing what you love to do and keeping active, keep a positive mindset to life.

Fun stories of people who keep on going beyond what we may consider normal. What comes through in all cases is the passion each has for what they are doing. Many people are unfortunately stuck "making a living" doing something they hate and cannot wait to get to retirement only to discover they do not know what to do with their time outside of the job. Having a satisfying job that keeps you engaged and interested is not a bad way to spend your days. After all, retirement is when you can do what you want when you want. Well done to these hard and happy workers.
