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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Retiring is getting ready to die.
The people I know who have retired, so many of them lose interest and die; they just become nobodies overnight.
To retire is to begin to die.
To retire is to die.
I have two main reasons for retiring. The first is I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very, very frustrating to me throughout this past year. The second one is realizing my health, along with my family, is the most important thing in the world.
I have no plans to retire. It's the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end for me.
People think retiring is fun. Well, maybe, but if you have a certain kind of fire inside, there is no end in sight.
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.
I suspect if people live a lot longer they would be retired for a somewhat longer period of time. Just the financial planning takes on a very different character.
People do not retire. They are retired by others.
