As somebody now north of 60 I just want to say that I want my pension to be a real; pension - that is, payments based on money set aside to support me during my declining years. Having said that, I've seen many corporate and institutional pension plans fall apart over the years, so I'm not really to put my complete trust in the system. Also, it doesn't really pay that much. So yeah - I'm making sure that I'm continuing to learn so that I can continue to bring value to people who might be willing to pay me for it. But let's not make this a thing - people should be able to rest in their retirement, not work for lunch money.
