This thread got me wondering how the under-50 crowd approaches the ideas of (a.) work after 50 and (b.) retirement in general
Most of us are going to work till we die. Seriously.

I'm 42 so have a head start on alot of the "under 50s" but none of the companies I've ever worked for has offered a decent pension plan. I've always contributed but the result so far looks like it'll be pretty worthless at retirement. I've therefore saved through other means. I have quite a lot of savings put aside and I plan to own a few rental properties by the time I'm 65/70 and live off the income from them. I've only got the luxury of that because I've worked in a highly paid field, though. How folks who've spent their careers in customer services or stacking shelves are going to get by is completely beyond me.
