>"Retirement" as most people seem to mean it, just sitting around waiting to die, sounds so bleak by comparison to finding something you love to do. Man, I'm sorry, there's just so much wrong with this take. You should seriously hang out with more retired people if you think they're just 'sitting around, waiting to die'. I really take issue with the fact that we're expected to sell our 40 best years of our lives to work on things we're not passionate about to make other people rich. Retirement, for me, is simply crossing the point where you work on your own terms for passion and purpose instead of money.
