- andrewstuart 3y agoEven so, I’d hate to be famous. Fake friends, wondering if your partner chose you for the money, suspicion about peoples motives, narcissistic self obsession, worry about losing the things you got, people judging you. Urgh no thanks. Being a deeply average anonymous nobody is the ideal life in the 21st century.

- maccard 3y agoI had this conversation with Dad a few months ago. He asked if I wanted to retire early and I said no. He asked why, and I told him if I could choose my week, I'd work part time on a video game project, golf 2-3x per week, get a date night with my fiancée, and an afternoon/evening with couple friends. I have all of that now (well, I golf 1-2x per week and work "full time" but on a project I like with people I like). Why would I spend the prime of my life optimising to enjoy the rest of my life, when I can have a balance and enjoy my whole life? I don't think he understands, still. See the Mexican fisherman [0].

- badpun 3y agoVideo games and other personal projects rarely bring enough money to live on. If they do for you, then really there's no need to retire. However, you're in a small minority.
- maccard 3y agoI'm employed by a company working on a video game that I enjoy working on. It brings in enough to live on.
- zachcalhoun 3y agoThat is not performing labor, that is the path to go about it.
- maccard 3y agoThat sounds like a shitty way to live and a poor set of priorities.
