It’s “Work until you die.

I will. Don't have to, but I will. I have retired friends looking for jobs, any jobs. They don't need the money. They got bored. There's only so much 'recreation' you can do before it gets old. Fishing, golf, travel, hobbies, they all get old after a while. You gotta have a reason to wake up every morning......................

A Reason to Wake up???
Coffee,
Marlboro and maybe
A Small Dog that needs a walk.

I “learned to code” a long time ago, I can’t imagine not coding, even if I don’t get paid for it. It’s just something I enjoy doing, so I will probably keel over on my keyboard just when I’m about to deploy my app. ;)

I’m like you, work until I die. I have always been self employed and work a little less now than I did when younger. It seems to me that it is better to stick with whatever your craft is than to retire, get bored, and then scramble for some lesser job that is not really in your skillset.

As several of my retired friends have said, “Retirement isn’t really that great.”

“You gotta have a reason to wake up every morning”

Isn’t jumping on FR enough reason? Of course, not waking up in the morning is bad news.
