If you can work on your terms and have all the time off and work remotely from anywhere, it paints a different picture. Bonus when you enjoy what you do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My body is destroyed and I still can’t quit it. I don’t love everything about it or everyday but generally I enjoy being here. I go crazy doing nothing. A week or so of vacation and Im missing it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know a lot of people who do accounting or sell insurance for a hobby. My wife’s step Dad retired and loves it. Her Dad retired and didn’t last a year until he was back working.

After retirement you just have to stay physically and mentally active My dad retired at 62 made it to 87 he always said he was busier after he retired than he was while he was working.

Why don't guys like Elon retire. Everyone i know who's retired loved their jobs, even my father and mother. Most people who continue to work into their 60s can't retire because of their lifestyle. Take you for instance. It would suck having 2 big mortgages like you have that you'll pass on to your children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good run. Hopefully he was good health to the end. My dad has awesome genes. They live into their 90’s . Moms side if you make it into 60s you’re doing good.

Au Maybe when I get settled and have my big garage built I will be a bit happier but right now it ain't lookin too bright and kicking myself for calling it quits.... And I even delayed this for like 5 years on top of it, Knowing I wasn't ready.... and Apparently I still wasn't. And money has absolutely nothing to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 14 minutes ago, Steve753 said: Everyone i know who's retired loved their jobs Sorry Steve but I'm calling bullshit on that. You either live in some sort of Pennsylvanian utopia, or you're flat out lying. Sure, there's people who enjoy their jobs but EVERYONE? Maybe you only know a handful of retirees? I'd bet at least 50% who retired would say they TOLERATED their job .... it sure as hell ain't 100% who loved it. I know my dad didn't love his job - he took a package early just to get out because he was sick of seeing the direction the business was going. I have multiple other buddies who have retired, and all but maybe 2 or 3 would have said their place of employment was more about being content with it vs. loving it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting up every day and having the freedom to do what you want in life is priceless, life is too short to toil away at a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
