I would tend to agree, but the challenge is that to many people think 60-65 means your work career(s) are over.

If one works 30 years and decides to retire at age 60-65, then given the additional longevity of relatively health people's age expectations, the question needs to be asked "what are you going to do with your remaining 25-30 years?" 

Playing golf is only an answer if you are an avid golfer and can afford the high expenses associated with golf. Hobbies? Sure, but every day?

Imho, after 60, you are only getting started and one should take this age to determine what you want to take on as a second career or job that is perhaps based on something you really like to do - even if it means volunteering.  Joining a gym is a great activity for all of us who have avoided this for many years.  Private consulting using years of experience is an option for some - especially if willing to get new certs like VMware, network, security related.

One thing for sure - everyone needs a reason to get out of bed in the morning and have activities on your daily schedule that you are looking forward to doing.
