I retired at 67 after running a computer consulting business for 25 years. If something goes wrong with your computers, they expect you to work day and night to get things going. At 67 I had enough.

11 years later, and I still haven’t died. I’m in good shape other than the 16 years of prostate cancer, which you could not tell I have. I go to the gym three days a week and run the track a mile every morning and afternoon. I told somebody my age last week and they were surprised said they thought I was 68.

There aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do.

There is no need to die after five years. My wife retired 20 years ago. She is always busy.
