Then I feel sad that our society is so messed up that it doesn't get those people the help they so desperately need.
I remember reading, somewhere, in some survey someone conducted of lottery winners, more than a quarter insisted, at the time they won, that they would keep working. At the end of 1 year almost none of them were, and the most common explanation for their changed attitude was "what was I thinking?"

In my job I have two primary ways of losing clients: the companies crash and burn or the principals sell out and get rich. As a result of the later, I have a lot of friends my age who are gainfully retired; others who are still hoping. Only about 1/3 go back for another go and become "serial entrepreneurs."
One of my retirees has just released his first novel. It sucks.
