The Joy and Freedom of Working Until Death

Author must be reading different news articles. When I see "growing number of Americans will not be able to retire" I instead think "what happens when people become too old to work, have no money, but still need support to live?"

&quot;Rather than receiving the work-until-you-die news as a prison sentence, a healthier message is one of a change in perspective: Working until you die can be a gift of a lifetime if your work is meaningful.&quot;<p>&quot;So when you hear the news that you must work until you die, you can become relieved and overjoyed that you are free from the slavery of saving money to procure an illusory freedom. Furthermore, it is doing nothing that hastens death. Many who have already retired find themselves bored and detached from life if they are not doing something that is meaningful.&quot;<p>I think this speaks for itself without need to comment.

I wonder how many people reading hackernews have tried to “do what [they] love?” Because I’ve tried, and I gotta tell you, unless you love self-promotion and running a small business, it’s a bullshit.
