What will be age of retirement in the future is an interesting question. I'm not sure I want to live to 120 if it means I cannot reasonably retire until I'm 95.

- orangecat 11y agoI'm not sure I want to live to 120 if it means I cannot reasonably retire until I'm 95. So working is literally worse than death?
- meddlepal 11y agoNo, not at the moment, but 60 something years from now it probably will be; that's a lot of time to spend making bits flip so some man or woman I'll likely never meet can be advertised to in some new innovative disruptive way (or whatever mundane/evil task your industry is involved in).

- meddlepal 11y agoSure if you want to live your life like a robot for five years then it's totally doable. That approach takes extreme discipline which most people do not have. Also kids throw a wrench into that strategy.
