My Grandmother (Nana) I think really was ready and enjoyed her retirement. She became a single Mother when my Grandfather died in the 1950's and she spent over 20 years working at Macy's. She liked to read, needlepoint, and had spent much of her life alone. She loved time with her Grandchildren and maybe her children (I'd say she wanted to more than often the reality), but she was fiercely independent and didn't need someone with her at the dinner table or even when she traveled. She was bringing herself down to meet us at our place in Bethany Beach, Delaware from New Jersey on her own in her 70's. Short of her, I don't recall anyone that really seem happy retired. No matter their financial situation, they are always fearful they will run out of money. I've seen this with people with literally millions in the bank and an income to more than cover every expense. From my Grandparents to Aunt and Uncle and many others, all wait until retirement to take these...
