I work with a lot of old people who are all on the brink of retirement.  I've noticed that there are 3 different ways people look at retirement. 

1.  "I can't wait to get out of here."  This is the mentality I think would best describe me in 30-70 years.  It's the same feeling as graduation:  I'm ready to be done with this; I want to move on. 

2.  "I won't be gone long."  A lot of people at my job come back as contractors/consultants.  They get to collect their big fat pension checks while simultaneously getting paid more money as a contractor.  These are the people that aren't yet ready to give up on working. 

3.  "What am I gonna do with all this time?"  These are the people I don't understand.  They've been working for so long that they can't fathom not working.  What a sad mindset.  I don't envision myself having this same mindset. #business
