Hopefully your brain and hands will still be up to the task.
My plan is to die working well past what is currently the retirement age because my government will abolish it for being unpatriotic.
Right?
At work I regularly hear older people talking about how they don’t know what they’re doing to do after they retire.
How about you obtain a personality, which allows you to have interests, which you can then pursue instead of being locked in a box 8+ hours a day with people you share nothing in common with?
I’ve known quite a few people that retired and ended up coming back because they were “bored”. That terrifies me. I always thought the deal was that if you made it to your 60s and didn’t die, that you’re finally free. Now I find myself dwelling on that scene from Shawshank where Red is talking about prisoners getting institutionalized and not wanting to leave.
It should not terrify you. I also see retired people who become bored, but when you understand things a little, they always had a boring life with no hobbies and where the work was filling everything else. Without work they have no life.
From what I’ve gathered talking to the recently retired is that your employment always told you what you had to do. In retirement, you have to tell yourself what to do. They tell me the first 6 months they do nearly nothing productive. They read or watch all the TV they want while sitting on the couch, but then they start questioning if that is what the rest of their lives will look like and then the best one go looking for something to do productively (in however they define that).
Yeah, that makes sense. I just hope I’m not one of those people that can’t find hobbies to fill the day.
ppl often forget that most ppl by the time they are at retirement age…are just tired.
Thats why i decidet to be free now and work when i am 60.

If I’m in an assisted living facility, I don’t need much energy to “rush B” de_dust2 in Counterstrike 1.6 while I bunny hope with my knife out eventually creeping around back way to stab that goddamn camper with the AWP thats playing from his room next to the cafeteria. Also, if you didn’t buy a defuse kit, we’re going to have words. I might also hide your stool softener pills for a couple of days.
This man ‘strikes.
Exactly, I’ve got a backlog of games a mile long and an even longer backlog of movies and tv shows. I’ll finally have time to enjoy them all and won’t have to leave my house more than once a week for groceries and weed gummies. Only 24 years to go 🤞
Don’t pretend you’re waiting for retirement.
My plan is to actually catch all the Pokemon when I retire, I figure with how many new games will be out by then that it should keep me pretty busy.
