i PRAY TO GOD that i don't have to work until xyz retirement age. I'm not even 30 and the thought of working until 55 (much less 65 or 85) is dreadful! I'd like to be able to do my job until i just don't want to perform/fight traffic/deal with office politics.
i am a librarian, so i'm SURE i could always work in a public library or something even when i'm 100... that is if we still hold on to the "traditional" library... but I don't want to be the old lady in the office who doesn't know how to operate any technology, or who has to ask for support EVERY DAY for assistance with something simple. i don't want to HAVE to work.

not trying to be funny or age-ist... if that's even a word
i just left a job because my "retirement age" coworkers WEREN'T retiring... just staying on and complaining about everything, and missing every other day of work because of doctor's appointments. They were technologically challenged (i can't get the printer to work! my email isn't doing anything! why won't this light switch flip on!) and it was driving me CRAZY.
i mean, these coworkers were MISERABLE at work, but couldn't afford to retire... so that fueled my desire to work somewhere where (1) i'd draw a higher salary (2) have better benfits (incl. pension) and (3) be able to put away more $$ for the future.
