 A Sun Life Financial poll released Wednesday found that just three in 10 Canadians surveyed said they will be fully retired by 66.

Nearly half said they plan to work part time or freelance as a way to move into retirement.

About 61 per cent of those who said they will keep working past 65 said they would because they have to, while 39 per cent said it's because they want to.

How do you feel about the prospect of working past the age of 65? Let us know in the comments below.
