Some people are ok with doing nothing all day after they retire, but then some people if they had nothing to do would go mad and start banging their heads against a wall.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The people I know who have retired, so many of them lose interest and die; they just become nobodies overnight.
I just see too many people retire and say, 'I'm going to take off, travel, spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer.
The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.
I see all these old people who don't have anything to do but eat, drink and sleep. I will never say 'retired' because that's such a finality that I don't want to be part of my life. I'll work until they throw me in a box.
When you retire, it's a place in life, a part of the journey. You just don't quit work; you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.
There are some who start their retirement long before they stop working.
When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.
I don't think anybody ever really just retires where they don't do anything.
People do not retire. They are retired by others.
People retire to do what I do every day.
