Average Retirement Age is 65, and I'm 75!

I retired at 55, after 32 years; too early for me. My wife found me another job in her government office, then retired 4 years later, at 58.
Here I am, 17 years employed at age 75. I have 18 assignments for December, and my 64 yo coworker has.....zero. Each task gets me out of the office into the field, so I don't complain. I love working and am in good health. My wife and I never spent a night in the hospital, except while giving birth. I still bring home the bacon, wifey keeps house clean.
Most of my coworkers here retire at 65. I intend to work till 79, God willing. I love my job, and the stress is manageable.
