- wruza 2y agoEither enough money to never work again, or enough money for years off between work bursts. I don’t mean any disrespect to regular work-retirement lifestyle (huge respect to people who do things instead of making sounds with their mouth (except for singers)), but to me it’s a huge risk. Employers and govt will screw you over without thinking twice, e.g. in case of illness or life changes that make you temporarily less able than they expected.
