Can we start a D1P fund for Xbob's plane ticket and future legal fees? @Greatoneshere, would you give a discount? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I work with an old woman who could easily retire and live comfortably but she will probably never retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He owns a bunch of houses in addition to his professor salary. Dude enjoys his job and said he doesn’t believe in retirement. He also tried to tell me that RC Cola tastes the same as Coca Cola so he is clearly insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 RC is better than Coke. I wish I could find it more often. But yeah, some people just like working. They're crazy, but they exist. My grandpa was essentially forced into retirement at something like 72 and he wasn't happy about it. Right up until he got sick at died a couple months ago at 87, the man would still be trying to do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Aside from Logan’s Run stans, I don’t think anyone objects to older people working, provided they choose to and can do so in a healthy way. Continuing to work into old age due to fiscal necessity is shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm a mechanic, unless i move into a management position the idea of working past 60 is sketchy, even if i wanted to, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 A rich CIO doesn't care. Shocking. This part stuck out: "Is bowling that interesting? Is fishing that interesting?" Putting aside the amount of people who do that and watch Fox (God knows I've befriended plenty), who cares what someone else likes? I love video games, but some people don't get why. I don't get fishing, but some people are in paradise sitting on a boat with friends. If you like fishing, bowling, tennis, dancing, video games, movie/show binging, writing, traveling, exploring, arts, escape rooms, reading, snorkeling, sailing, climbing, working out, editing videos, collecting, going to the beach, and that's what makes you happy, then it's interesting to you and no one else should judge you for it. I get the idea of loving your work to the point that you keep doing it, but he's a rich cat who can afford to choose what he does and doesn't get the negative reason why many people are never planning on retiring.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Work not necessary for survival is great for seniors for mobility and socialization. The real problems come once you physically or mentally can't work (or put on clothes and/or other ADLs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
