I let rich fortune sims retire and become day traders. They can give financial advice on the computer and earn money from their investments, all while day drinking, playing pool and woohooing the maid from the comfort of home. What's the point of $200,000 in the bank if you have to keep working until you drop dead?
There comes to a point with elders where it makes sense to retire. Usually they've reached the top of their career, or plateaued and suddenly need like 6 more body points for the next promotion, which I am not going to indulge. Either they're empty nesters or about to be. They have enough in the bank to last long term, not scraping by to pay the rent each week. They have far more vacation days than they have work days per week. They're a Warhead Disarmer and a great-grandmother. Anything where a real life person would say "Enough's enough, I'm going to enjoy myself!"
Some can never retire and have to work up to the end to support their family.
