Those years are more likely to be active.Some people look at retirement in the old tradition, work till your 65, move to Florida, play golf or bridge, sit watching televisiontill you and your friends are all dead. More and more people are throwing away those old fashion notions and "retirement" becomes "reinventing" their lives .
