Perhaps a silly question, but why would you not want to retire?
My grandparents keep mentally active (they are in their 80s) and pre-covid socially active. Plenty of books to read and things to learn, but they do so purely for fun.
Why not just learn things for fun at that age?
- criddell 6y agoNot the person you are replying to, but maybe at that age they anticipate being financially secure and can apply their medicine or law degree to serve a needy community. That could be incredibly rewarding.
- commonturtle 6y agoI'm open to just learning things for fun too; although ideally would like to be able to apply them somewhere. What I fear is traditional retirement that I've seen some people choose: spending the rest of their days watching TV and grumbling about 'kids these days' :)
