this is because you were thought from young age to define your life through work - i.e. you live to work and not work to live. people working until they are 94 is the saddest imaginable thing. there is sooooo much more to life than work - unfortunately US culture is such that you hear insane statements like no one wants to party with “I am retired” guy two of my childhood friends were lucky to retire in their late-30’s / early-40’s and they are living the lifes most can’t even imagine
