I came looking for stories about people who have retired or not and reasons why they have (or not) and whether they regretted these choices (or not). Kind of some data blended with anecdotes to make it memorable and help me with my decisions about retiring (or not).

This is really the story of a about to hit 70s guy who is a reporter so he knows tons of famous and connected people. He'll tell you a little bit about their reaction to his thinking of retiring and why it's not selfish or horrible for boomers to just work high paid gigs until they drop dead. Also, he has a lot to tell you about his daughter who is going to college.

I tapped out after 2/3rds of the book. Maybe a tiger shows up and it gets interesting but I'll never know.
