Enjoying 79 stress-free years sounds better than having things to brag about on your gravestone.

  Stress is orthogonal here. Many humans[0] naturally want to create, build and improve things around them. A typical job is a nearly insurmountable obstacle to that, especially if fruits of the labour only ever manifest as paycheck - hence the desire to do that in whatever free time that's left. -- [0] - I'd argue, all.

    > [0] - I'd argue, all. Nope! I take no joy and have no interest in creating, building, and improving things. I like buying stuff, watching TV, scrolling through the Internet, and that’s more or less it. Just passing time until I die.

  79 years making stuff _I care about_ would be heaven, though.
