[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 869601, member: 9500"] I didn't miss your point at all. Working after retirement doesn't have to actually be [I]work[/I] in any sense that we have been accustomed to. Being a Walmart greeter is a good example of that: it gives you a reason to get up, gets you out of the house, adds to your feeling of self-worth, part-time and no stress. Think of it as the way some kids limit themselves to 15 hours of work when they are full-time high-school or college students. Everything comes full circle. Volunteering could be a better alternative to some people, but it would be nice to at least get a paycheck to cover your costs getting there. I'm very well set for retirement, but I'm always interested in learning new things so if my side business becomes more like real work I'll be selling that and doing other things. I've been working full-time since I was 16 so I'm overdue for a rest. A better fit for me than Walmart greeter would be the cranky Camp Host at a National Park or a pit boss at a casino. [/QUOTE]
