Some look forward to no longer waking up early, rushing to get to work on time, producing for a rating and coming home tired. Others do not retire. We prefer to let our work keep us mentally and physically alert, while we earn extra money. As the matriarchs and patriarchs of our families, we give our grandchildren and great-grandchildren – who we adore – something to look up to. As we have achieved many things in life, we encourage them to achieve also.
