[Paleopsych] The Franklin Institute on Neurobics (brain exercises)

Try this:

"Some people look forward to retirement with enthusiasm while others regard 
it with dread. It is a sad fact that many men develop serious illness and 
die soon after retirement. It's different for women. The subject of 
retirement provokes varied reactions depending on whom you speak to. As 
life expectancy increases it is likely that the number of retired people 
will steadily increase over the coming decades. Is this country prepared 
for the major changes in the age profile of our population that will occur 
in the years ahead? It is also important to question if individuals have 
planned properly for the changes that occur when they finish working?"

Personally, I intend to always do something to make some money.

I am perhaps lucky in having some artistic pursuits that I can continue
with when I give up doing computer work.

When I am too feeble to do something worthwhile, I may choose to die
so I can move on to my next life :-)
