As the adage goes, "life is what happens while you're busy making other plans".
If there's one thing this piece made me think of, is that you should either be happy doing what you're doing or be on the path to do that.
I have friends in their 40s who have worked in the service industry for decades while planning to do "something else later", and they're not the happiest of my acquaintances.
- anonzzzies 3y agoEveryone I know still in my birth country is working to retire, and, when they retire they will move to a place in the sun. Most who retired died unhappy before doing that because of health reasons because of working. It’s all just sad. Move today and you can retire today. ‘Something else later’ doesn’t work with our lifespan.
