Most my friends and myself could retire after the 90s Internet boom: we all sold. Most before 30. No one did as its boring. Travelling gets boring: everything I see rich people typically do I still find boring now in my 50s and I could've done all of that for the past 25+ years. I am quite sure I will never stop working and this seems the same for my friend group. I am not saying life satisfaction comes from work necessarily, but at least the people I call friends have a drive to produce things and feel validation and satisfaction from that: in the west that validation is usually money and recognition from peers and large groups of strangers.
But yeah, I guess many people dont want to work because their options for work suck. It is not that many of those their contribution is not basically 0 or negative now as it is and with robots/ai coming in the coming 50 years, I rather have them living a human life with social housing, free playstations and basic income instead of slaving away at something useless just because of some weird idea that any work is better than no work to spend their short life on.
