No. But tell me, do you really think people ever retired before the 1700’s, or at any time before US history? And why should I retire? Can I not work, do what I want, be of service to those around me, and enjoy life without retiring? Why retire? Answer that.
“No.”
Perha9s you forgot what you posted:.
“Retire? Why? To wait to die, doing nothing?”
Why retire?
1 - Because I no longer enjoyed my work.
2 - Because I can afford to retire.
3 - I have more time to be of service to others.
4 - I can’t “do what I want” if I’m putting in 40 hrs/wk elsewhere.
5 - I have plenty to keep me busy, AND I like a flexible nap schedule.
If you enjoy working, then it’s good for you. Working forever isn’t the dream or goal for everyone (it’s not for me), but kudos to you that you know what you want. Others also know what they want. Not everyone is a slug in retirement.
Because our minds and bodies wear down. I wasn't near as sharp as I used to be.
There at the end I took an 18 hour certification course but felt so burned out that I never attempted to schedule the certification exam. My over sixty brain was just not wrapping around the material any longer. I was thankfully RIFfed with a great payoff.
