A lot of people get to retirement and simply don't know what to do with all the free time. Work the same job for 40 years, and a lot of people will start to enjoy it (or did the whole time) and will retire only when forced to.

I wonder if this is more common in the US where the separation between work and free time is quite blurred. It's seems like you are always working and expect to be always available. Vacations are also minimal.
