I plan to do this too - but the "job" I work by then will be farming - for myself. I have no idea what others are going to do. I'm pretty sure that the dollars people are being paid won't be buying much of MY food, if any at all. I'll sell corn and cucumbers for tomatoes and yarn, gasoline and silver, but how much of the U.S. population is going to have enough of those items to survive very long?
I'm sorry for the vast majority of people - their populations will be on the decrase. What's brewing is a nightmare that they don't understand (I can't say that *I* fully understand it either). And they SURE as heck aren't preparing for tough times ahead when things that they'll need are still cheap.
How many of YOU think you've done a good job of getting ready? Perhaps those of you who live on farms. Most of the rest of you, I would bet, have done less than I have . . . and I am woefully unprepared.

Fifty-four percent of those surveyed said they plan to retire between age 60 to 69, and 6% said they’ll retire between age 50 to 59.
