Equating "what you do" with "who you are" results in a terrible spiral that prevents you from ever being able to "retire". Remember the lament of "if only I had invested my flight pay for 20 yrs." Well, now's your chance. Want to be 60 and have no options but work? Not me fella's. There's Grand Kids to enjoy, a wife to chase (full time), fish to catch, races to attend, places to go (not during work), boats to drive, planes (small) to fly, all on the retirement dime. I don't like the actuarials after 60 at all. if I can....I'm going at 55-58.........out.

And I don't think it's a "sense of entitlement". It's the lack of humility and your failure to acknowledge that, in the eyes of guys junior to you, your good fortune comes at their expense. Maybe it's time to lighten up a little on the smugness and stop "yanking chains"?

And for the record, I don't have any problem with anyone staying past 60 who is trying to get to 25 years.
