I'm fifty, love what I do, and I'm already prepping for my third attempt at retirement and this one is going to stick. My team keeps burning out but clients refuse to make plans to replace our skill set. Now they are gaslighting?

Working is overrated

Just got back from a pleasure cruise. I call bullshit.

I don't get it? Is it like work until we say so? Cuz I worked for a company. Most people were somewhat happy working there then it was sold/move overseas. Some people got forced retired.

Pleasure cruises and Golf are only fulfilling for those who don't need to work. Jfc

Solution Spend that time doing anything else lmao

If that's the best you can come up with it's not retirement it's you

Unless ofcourse you enjoy those things Then you enjoy the fuck out of that lmao

This is satire right?

I don't want to work forever and I 100% disagree with this article, but I also don't want to be my grandparents who never went anywhere or did anything ever because they were limited to their pension money. I would rather work part time than wait around for someone to visit because I can't afford to do anything else.

There needs to be some enhanced senior programs to help make it so you don't have to spend the next 20 years doing another puzzle alone at the table or whatever the stupid ass title was.

This is a sense of purpose or meaning of life thing I guess. Some see work as their only meaning of life. More power to them though personally for me I rather rot not doing anything than working for someone till I die.

I like my job and have great coworkers. I could keep doing what I'm doing for another 20 years no problem. Wouldn't quite be retirement age yet, nor would I have enough to retire but at least I tried.

This and the replies here are actually kind of inspiring. I guess I dont work right now and its very stressful because I feel stuck in my parents home, I dont have the power to craft my life the way I like just yet. But if I never had to work? It'd be so cool to just make art about what life feels like. I'd probably try harder at improving the social experience around me, as opposed to being so confident I need to move away in order to ever be important or build wealth.
