I view retirement (distant future for me) as a chance to do unappreciated work. Does the world need a new birdhouse? Who cares. When I retire, if I want to spend 100 hours on a birdhouse, then I can, and I don't need to justify it to anyone. I'll even say it's worth $5000 because I spent so much time on it, and put it up for sale on eBay. If nobody buys it, then who cares? But sit around and do whatever the default thing is (watch TV, etc.): No thanks.
