On the other hand, people often die shortly after retiring. It's because we have evolved to struggle. Leading a life of indolence and sloth is not healthy for the body or mind.
Want to do so much more? Go do it!

This kind of “work” wasn’t done with a primary goal of getting money. Dare I say, it was a “hobby”.
If you hate your job, think about upgrading your job skills to get a job that you would like.
But we also have to acknowledge that simply is not true for a sizeable portion of the population.
The point (for me) is its the moment you make it a job, it becomes drudgery. so the "job" part is what I would need to avoid.
B) My point was that it wasn't really work, hence the quotes. The leisure/aristocracy of the past did need to turn it into work. They simply did it because they liked it.
You know, that’s perhaps because they retired when they simply could not continue working. Perhaps they might have retired before dropping dead if that was an option.
Odd how that magically coincides with turning 65.
Of course now that their value has been used up, they have no outlet and just sit around.
Everyone ages differently, and if you're not spry and productive as you age you'll be pushed out regardless of if you can retire.
False dichotomy. Not working 60 hours a week != leading a life of indolence and sloth.
Perhaps we can raise people to create their own paths.
