Yes but currently, at least people do seem to get a LITTLE time to slowly wind down in their twilight years and reflect on their lives. You know, to actually have the time to find those meanings, towards the end. That seems to be rapidly evaporating - my own "official" retirement age is already 70 and I have some serious doubts that it'll stay there. The pot is running dry, fast, already, I guess is what I'm saying. For myself personally I'm hoping that I have time to "feather my own nest" a bit and retire early, that's the long term plan at least, but the reality for most people is that the further we head into "aging population" territory, the more likely it is that you'll simply have to work until you drop.
