QUESTION:

Don't Stop Working

People live a long time these days, an average of 75-80 years or more.  The 65 year old retirement age is a vestige of the early part of the century when people's life expectancy was 68-70 years. 

Boredom comes easily in retirement, my advice is to keep busy and keep working as long as you can.  It's good to keep the mind and body occupied, and the extra money never hurts!
