It seems to me that to the extent that I took any position, I repeatedly suggested that work is optional for someone who is financially independent. You seem to be the one who is proclaiming that as soon as anyone does any kind of activity that might be considered to be work, within your own arbitrary and seemingly effervescent characterizations, then such person could neither consider himself to be within true franky defined FIRE status and he could not refer to himself as being in FIRE status.
you are correct in this part.. FI has option to continue workthe rest of your waffle is you not understanding anything and misrepresenting everything
YOU are confused about
a. what work is
b. what retirement is
c. what kind of activity might be work
YOU think doing favours for friends is the same as employment
YOU are the one trying to say retired people work if they have to do house chores or maintain their car
YOU cant understand the difference between a favour, chore vs work
thus you have no comprehension of work..
then you want to redefine what retirement is..
so instead of wasting all of your daily crying time on this forum making wacky posts. take the time you usually take to post, to actually learn some stuff.. use google use some research resources, learn how society works. learn how even the tax man defines the difference between income vs gift, learn some basic standards of life and common sense
stop wasting other readers time with your silly troll games.
heck i know you want to next abuse the word independent.. i can tell you are scratching at your computer desk, itching to spout out the next level of your game, you are just that type of person
just get the hint already, your idiot game is not subtle, you deserve to be put back in the idiot group. so take some time to mature and sort yourself out
