For one, you rarely get carded, anymore. Or if you do get carded, it's a compliment. At buffets and restaurants, they often have a senior special that is cheaper than the regular lunch, and includes freebies like a drink and/or dessert.
If you planned your life right, retirement can be wonderful. Enough money to do stuff, and still enough stamina to do it.
Depends what you invested into your life: Education, a good job, marriage, children, friends, and many activities.....all whilst trying to do your best.

I retired four years ago, and am busier than ever..especially since I am.blessed with a great grand boy.........
