If we think about physical jobs and people going through hardships to do them, like miners during the industrial revolution, then we will surely want to retire as soon as possible. But today there are many jobs that can be done with a computer. And if you have accumulated enough money to retire, you can also make a small investment to start a project that motivates you. That is why I say that I plan, one way or another, never to retire, at least as long as my cognitive abilities allow me to do so.
What about you guys?
I thought retirement is used only for people working under someone, either private or public sectors to define them when they reach a certain age they’ve set for such jobs. I don’t think a retirement is befitting to one who his working for themselves and their own Boss. We all do this hardwork to make money and when we already made them, it is okay to reduce the work load and have more time to live a less stressful life.
The stress and the energy we put in is for the money and when the main purpose is been achieved it’s better to allow the body take some rest and can just be engaging in less stressful work to patch up with what you have. Truth be said, humans will never stop looking for more to add to what they have, it’s just natural that it’s relatable to every human. Retirement could just be a deceiving word but in real time we can’t retire until we are no more.
There are many people who do different jobs after retirement. These people prefer many different jobs and do research for a long time before doing these jobs. If the retirement salary is sufficient, it is your choice to do another job you want, but if the retirement salary is low, there are people who have to work even after retirement. The most important factor that determines this choice is the country you live in.
Being retired does not mean people who can only live on their retirement salary today, because in most countries, retirement salary is not sufficient. Being retired now represents people who increase this income by working another job due to the inadequacy of their retirement salary. I hope that every retiree receives enough salary to continue their life at a good level and spends their retirement comfortably.
