Why are they still at work? Their kids are long done with college, I know they have plenty of money...what is another year of income buying them that they can't already afford?

It is not like they are professors or some job like that where I can understand the drive to keep doing research/teaching students into their 70s...they are working in an office (or home office) in front of a computer on things that 99% of the world doesn't care about.

I suppose I should be grateful because they stick around and bring in clients and run projects...but I don't think I'd be doing that.

For Dantheman's offer, I feel like he should take it unless the prospect of being the head honcho is something he seriously does not want to do. It is good money, good experience, and it is probably a pretty good influence on the 14 year old to see dad doing something like that. Once the kid is done with college, have a plan for what you actually want out of the job--when is retirement on the table, can you reduce to part time or seasonal status, can you bank the money and transition to a "retirement" job.

simple , they are habituated TO show up for work in front of a nice warm screen where people give them positive validation AKA blow smoke up their assholes

when i retired/ was rightsized I would talk to a whole bunch of recent retirees of all kinds and maybe 10-20 % actualy liked it

to sum it up the people who could not afford/ did not qualify to retire would know/ could tell you what they would do in retirement,

the people who actualy could afford and did qualify, did not want to retire
