I want to work endlessly and tirelessly until I'm an old, old lady.

One line I'd draw would be on raising the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare. It sounds fair, since people are living longer. But it isn't. Lower income workers are the ones who find it hardest to keep working after 65. And they'll get penalized with lower benefits.

It is estimated that raising the retirement age to 70 would cut the shortfall by about 36%. But this proposal has some drawbacks. Women and men who have worked jobs that require manual labor all of their lives may not physically be able to do work until they are 70 years old.

I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.

There are some who start their retirement long before they stop working.

At 88 years old - with every intention of living decades longer - I'm still running a company, writing articles, launching new ventures, and fully enjoying life.

I have never retired - I have averaged 40 working weeks a year since 1933.

You should have more time for you during all of your life - not when you're 65 and retired.

I never wanted to retire. I wanted to kind of shift my work pattern so I could stay fresh and invigorated, and use the experience that I had gained in 30 years, but in a slightly different direction.
