<I see lots of examples where people retire and then their health deteriorates, both mental and physical. You can only play so many rounds of golf.>

I think it depends on what one calls 'retirement', and the intention behind it..., sitting at the pool and playing golf and not growing vs following a dream [maybe it IS golf!], art, spiritual awakening, or teaching, writting or helping at the hospital.

IMO it all depends on the person and the intention... one can keep grinding away at the company she built in a very fearful negative manner just like the retirement you envision, and perhaps just like she lived her life, running off with all her energy to build some empire while her kids sit neglected and end up in therapy... There are plenty of ridiculously successful entrpeneural people that look in the mirror in horror at some point in old age at their life. "Building value, real wealth, what ever you want to call it is all meaninless unless your including more than the material.

You cannot sit judgement based on an action alone, it is what's behind it.
