Yes, many of the people I know have jobs/careers that they like. Some I have known even get bored and go back to work in some fashion. I've thought about it, then I stop thinking. It sucks not having any money left over each month but I am happy that so far I have not incurred any expenses that I couldn't handle without raiding my meager savings.
Really, I'm quite pleased with retirement so far.
