Yep. Life comes first. People shouldn't live to work, but instead work to live.
Then retire, like me.  |
Exactly! People keep saying, "
Dude, work this many years so you can get this percentage for your pension, and don't go on any vacations or use any holiday pay or sick time so you get a massive check at retirement." …..and I'm like, "
fuck that!!!!," I'm not here to work and horde money into my 60's AND THEN try to live life. I live the shit now and take as much time away from work as I can. It ages people. Some people nearly half my age look older than I do. They don't rest, they don't sleep, they consume themselves with work 24/7 and it manifests physically. I may only do 20-25 years on this department. Sure, I won't hit the maximum pension amount, but I don't want to work forever.
