I will. Don’t have to, but I will. I have retired friends looking for jobs, any jobs. They don’t need the money. They got bored. There’s only so much ‘recreation’ you can do before it gets old. Fishing, golf, travel, hobbies, they all get old after a while. You gotta have a reason to wake up every morning...................... “

I’m like you, work until I die. I have always been self employed and work a little less now than I did when younger. It seems to me that it is better to stick with whatever your craft is than to retire, get bored, and then scramble for some lesser job that is not really in your skillset.

As several of my retired friends have said, “Retirement isn’t really that great.”

Exactly what mine said!

I have a friend, retired from the gas company, good pension, asks me every time we meet if there are any ‘openings’ at my work. He’s done the RV travel trailer thing, fished, and all the regular stuff. We ride motorcycles together with our wives about once a month. It only took him two years to get bored ............
