Hi Peter,

I can only offer my own experience. I was fortunate to be able to "retire" at age 48 from a high tech career. I tried it for about 5 years and, honestly, it wasn't for me.

I think I can track my dislike of retirement to the need for interaction with diverse people and how I (maybe all of us) are conditioned to derive much of our self-worth from the job/career we have.

After 5 years I decided to reinvent myself. I am very active in real estate sales and really enjoy it. I don't think I'll ever "retire" again. For me, it isn't retirement. It's the opportunity to do something you enjoy. (And the ability to weather downturns like the current RE market.) ;-)
