Retirement doesn't exist. What happens is that your values change. Money is not the main driver of your daily work.
I work to:
- make an impact in other people's lives.
- earn respect and recognition.
- do something interesting and challenging.
- learn new skills (I never want to stop learning).
I "could stop anytime I wanted to" but I never do. I don't want to.
- jpdoctor 15y ago> Retirement doesn't exist. This. I actually took off but I only lasted 3 months before I was trying out things that turned into my new startup. I'm a failure at lying down with a pina colada on a beach... it drove me up a friggen wall to be honest.
- ChuckMcM 15y agoFor a long time I realized that there was a cognitive disconnect between what I meant when I said 'retire' and what people heard. This captures the 'after you don't need to please someone else in order to fund your daily life expenses' mode that I think of as 'retirement.' I know I'll be hacking new things and reading interesting papers and writing code right up until the point where the EEEG straightlines :-)
