My answer to everyone that ask me what 'retirement IS' is Every day is Saturday. That Feeling of freedom from work is what weekends are and i no longer Hate sunday night.
Unfortunately I have no retirement, I reckon I will work every day till i die.
I supersize with you. I will work until the day I die.
I'm of two minds on that subject, largely because I'm in a similar boat my friend. I've seen a lot of men, who retire, die within a few years of leaving the work force, because without that sense of direction and purpose they seem to lose a will to live also. But, at the same time, I would like to experience living without the feeling of NEED to work. Just exist and enjoy. Write more like I did in my teens. Garden. Fish. Just...be.
Guess that's why I've had more and more dark thoughts the older I get. Sadly, I can't go down the chemical or liquid solution base like so many do.
You can have a sense of direction and purpose without being a slave to someone else's whims. That's what those fail to realise.
Unless you hate your job, that is Not an issue. LIFE is Living and working ($$$$) makes That possible.
Yeah I no longer make enough $. Just enough to get by. As jobs go , well fuck I dont know. Its kinda ok . I mean I dont have to see or talk to anybody.
I'm in the same boat. I'm also not healthy so who knows how much longer I have anyway. It sucks.
Yeah that's it except you also care a lot about your lawn.
