This. The biggest lesson you youngins need to take home is that you only get one chance. Go all out man.

Mercilessly exploit your environment.
Don't fight two enemies at one.

Live Long and Prosper.

I can't think of anything worse that retiring at 30. you still don't know shit by then and it's not even the mid life point.

What, am I supposed to have a third-life crisis now?

Singing the praises of computer programming one day, talking about retiring from it at 30 the next.


I plan on retiring as early as possible. I'd retire at 30 if I could. But not to do nothing. I have so many hobbies and projects I would love to do full time without having to necessarily make a living off of them.

When I got my first job in high school at a grocery store there was a 70+ year old guy who worked as a sacker because if I remember correctly according to him he didn't have anything else to do and got bored otherwise. I understand people who never retire from being a real estate agent, lawyer, professor or something. But to start working an hourly job cause you'd be bored otherwise is kind of sad at least to me given the transience of life. There are so many cool things in the world to do, to see or learn, and to not be interested in them is foreign to me. I know he came from a different generation that really valued hard work in and of itself but still. And it was a hard job too, especially in the summer when it would be 100 degrees+ outside.

i need work to take a break from hobbies and everything to keep a level head and maintain order. i can totally see where that guy is coming from. its not like he was working more than part time hours, don't see how that fills up so much time to avoid any said hobbies anyway

I think he worked full time 40 hours a week. And you'd be tired the rest of the day afterwards.

That being said, I have heard other people say their work gives their life structure as well and I can see that point of view.

Who knows maybe his wife died and/or has no family. At age 70 it's not as simple as doing whatever you want. Most do what they're familiar with in his case sounds like working. To most the worst thing is to be alone.

RIP

I 'retired' at 32 with enough cat biscuits to get through life, think I lasted about 8 months before I got bored and decided to make more money for something to do.
