I know a lot of seniors in the South Okanagan worked at wineries or golf courses. Seasonal work that doesn't pay well, but a few extra dollars doing something enjoyable for the worker, and a solid reliable employee who isn't always crying for a raise for the employer. Without that some of those operations wouldn't be viable.
My Dad died at the age of 67, had he saved enough to retire at 65, he might have enjoyed it for two years. He was happier to play a round of golf while he knew he could, than save that money hoping he'd be alive to do it when he was 70 and couldn't do it as well.
