Nope, not me!  
(Actually, I work part-time, but my hours are so minimal that they hardly count as work.)

Anyone else want to chime in?

I am considering retiring in 4 years or so from my current job, to devote time to sales of a product I plan to have production implemented by then, does that qualify as retirement?

I’m self employed and take on consulting and workshop teaching contracts as they come up. Don’t need to work, but going to Europe, Brazil or India to solve a client’s maintenance and reliablility problems is more fun then playing bridge or golfing with the same guys every week.
