Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.
Granted it relies on people getting opportunities when they’re younger, but I wonder if it’s just going to force more people into “part-tirement” where they don’t fully retire until they pretty much can’t work anymore, but will work two or three days a week. Kind of depressing though to think that for your entire life you’re working. This is what I’ll never understand - how society has been happy enough for this long to just… live to work.
But yeah, to your point, I’m wondering whether or not I do something similar. Like you said, not the best for the hip pocket, but it also blows my mind that so many people in higher roles still think money is so vitally important when 99% of them will never accumulate enough wealth for them to ever be satisfied.
I’ve heard podcasts where people retire, but get bored do come back to work. Wtf??? Get some hobbies. I’d love to retire, so much to do and so little time to do it in.
