Current Events > What's it like to be retired?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anyone know?

Based on my mom's experience, hundreds of hours of Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Rune Factory. I'm jelly.

Its like being a NEET but socially acceptable

It is awesome!
If I ever get bored I am quite lucky I have lots of categories on my driving licences, so it is quite easy to do a weeks work here and there.
At the moment I sometimes deliver brand new cars to people. The cars are top of the range stuff like Audi R8s, Mustangs, BMW blah blah blah. Sometimes Police cars which is very good fun lol.
Last Friday I took an Audi e-tron 55 500 miles to Scotland, had a night out with hotel, dinner, breakfast paid for. Can't complain at all really. Highly recommend retirement :)

I genuinely feel bad for people who dont know how to live without work.

Like, a decade ago, I got hurt at work and had to be out for seven weeks. People kept saying oh youll get so bored you wont wait to come back! Let me tell you that that was complete and utter bullshit. Other than being in pain from the surgery, I had an awesome time. I had plenty of books and toys and video games and movies and shows to keep me occupied, not to mention hanging with friends. There was not one single second where I thought gee, I really wish I was at work right now hauling groceries around and being abused by customers and management

F***. That.

Bags of sand

Unfortunately I'll never know, retirement is a privilege that previous generations had.

I want to retire while i still feel good enough to do physically demanding stuff. Id go help around people, feed homeless, paint houses...anything that makes someones live better instead of making rich assholes richer.
