Ask HN: How can I continue working as long as possible?
I know that a lot of people on HN are focused on retiring as early as possible. However, for a variety of reasons (some within my control and some not) it seems unlikely that I will ever be able to afford a comfortable retirement despite my efforts to save. I've heard from others in my peer group that they are in the same boat.
Let's say that I am in my 30s now, reasonably healthy both mentally and physically, and want to take steps that will allow me to continue working in a technical field for as long as possible (40+ years) so that I can maintain my income well into old age.
What are some things I should start doing now and/or think about doing in the future that will allow me to stay "on my game" in terms of being able to work and earn a living?
