My wife and I are self employed, so we will likely never retire. We may just let more of the business go, or hire others to do what we do over the years. We would be able to retire much sooner if we didn't travel quite a bit now, and if health insurance wasnt so freakishly expensive for self employed people. And when I say we travel a lot, a lot of that has been finding fun stuff to do within 5-6 hours of home. Several years back I mentioned going to see what it would be like to camp on a Louisiana beach. Now, several years later, we come back several times a year. So basically, we may never retire, but in our slow times, it kind of feels like we are close to being there for a couple months a year. I'm cool with that. Plus, we just made 12 years married today, and still have a blast together. That helps.
