You misunderstand me. That's not what I am talking about. I would love to be working and productive at 70. However, I don't want to be unemployed becouse I cost more than some shlup in Indea who will work 80 hours a week for 1/4 the cost. And what is more, I don't want to work 80 hours a week. I would, after all, like to be alive so that I can be working and productive at 70.
