No people are being trained to work until your dead. Instead of trying to save and retire to a better life, active with the things you would prefer to do over working for a heartless employer.

I have over 40 years in industrial corporate power generation, why would I want to work to 75 vs 62 when I can retire to a new active phase in my life and not jump like a trained monkey for a paycheck?!

why?

Because an active life keeps you alive. Working after 65 at something is prophylactic therapy

Funny thing is, you’re both correct.

“not jump like a trained monkey for a paycheck?!”

*************

Especially in today’s still largely woke workplace. The nonsense wears on you and that’s not a healthy thing.

What do you contemplate as a new active phase in your life?
