If you actually enjoy going in to do part time stuff thats differentA friend of mine retired about 18 months ago. He couldn’t wait to go and his motivation at work dipped quite a lot on the run up to him leaving. He could not wait to go. He has a very good pension and could do what he liked really. He came back after 15 months and does a couple of days a week and he said he feels much happier now. I dont think its sad that he has returned. Some people have a greater sense of self-worth whilst working, no matter what age. Its all about balance of physical health, mental health and their sense of wellbeing. I can retire now but the Mrs is a bit younger and she enjoys what she does. Things may change for me but at present but I plan to go within the next couple of years. I will be 58 and may come back for a couple of days a week. I am currently buying all sorts of stuff for hobbies when I do finally go.
My point is doing it to alleviate bordem, i think that comes around from being in a perpetual working environment for a very long time and forgetting why you actually exist
There is such a thing as getting too old to retire, as in working until your so old your physically unable to do certain things
