Interesting discussion, but curious was the almost total lack of any mention of money. My youngest child won’t graduate from high school until I’m 59. By that point, I’ll have spent 26 years as the father of pre-college-age children. That quarter-century will have taken a hell of a bite out of my lifetime savings. By my own calculations there isn’t the slightest chance that I can retire until I’m 70, and I doubt it’ll be realistic even then. I’m going to have to work because I have bills to pay.

Thank you, Professor UD. 😉
If you don’t mind a link, here’s the comments-enabled version: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/businessdesk/2013/03/how-long-will-you-work.html.
I had to clarify a few things there that the story left out–namely, that there’s much more to the situation than the Old vs. Young binary. Much more.
