I just don't want to be inactive. There's an old man who works in a retail store where I shop, he's worked there forever, more than 25 years in fact. He wanted something to do when he retired from his career at age 65, I think I read it was in pharma sales. He's 93 now, and retired last year to escape the risk of covid. So yes there is life after retirement age. I guess you just have to go after it.
