I retired after 20 years in the military as an E-9 and you will definately need to work if you plan on keeping your standard of living. While I was in the military I went to school nights and eventually finished a Masters Degree so I could build an even bigger retirement nest egg. I plan on really retiring as soon as I can pull money out of my retirement accounts without being penalized. Doing something you enjoy is also better than taking a job for just the money... Good luck and being proactive is always better than being reactive.

Take care,
