I am 62. I continue to work since I am in very good health. it keeps me busy and also I earn my money which I can spend the way i want. My sons are against this. They tell me that I have worked enough and I should take rest. I keep telling them that as long as I am useful to somebody I should keep working. In any case what will i do sitting at home? I want your response to this discussion.

You do whatever makes you happy! My father is 67 now and refuses to retire. I can't actually think of him being that age as he's always been active and still is with no sign of slowing down.
If you're not ready to retire and you don't want to, then don't. Carry on working until YOU decide you want to stop. Besides, I hear the pensions aren't that much anyway, lol.
