Do not retire
This, 'retiring' for me means never being beholden to another person to make ends meet anymore. It doesn't mean I'm just going to watch anime and cum in a sock for the next 70 years until I expire. It just means that my time is finally mine to do what I want with it. I presume I'd take up some kind of productive/creative hobby and follow it wherever it takes me, but I could do so wholeheartedly and knowing I'd never need to compromise with my vision just to accommodate some fucking shareholders or board of directors. I'll do the things I want to do and make the things I want to make, and the rest of the world doesn't like it it can go get fucked. That's what retirement means to me.

This. If you must work for the benefit of others just to survive you're a fucking slave.
I have to NEET for at least a year to get out of the wagecuck mindset.
based post of the year. what are you holding m8?
running your own business at 80+ years old or working as a very senior member of management in a big company is tolerable. being a retail wagie at 80 is just sad.

I'm a peer reviewed researcher and writer. I'd rather spend all my time working on my projects because I find them infinitely more interesting.
If you don't have meaningful things you'd rather be doing outside work, you're probably an NPC.
die in a fire
Maybe, I just don't want to end up like my dad. Work until 70 to max out the SS then gets Alzheimers just a few years after retirement and starts ending up getting lost in random places like Winchester Indiana.
