I was reading an article that talked about how a large percentage of people expressed how they never plan to fully retire from working even at an old age. They will still continue to be involved in say running a business that they created or taking part-time jobs. Apparently the reasons didn’t have so much to do about not having enough money at an older age, but instead it was about having something to do.
That didn’t shock me personally as I kind of have the same mentality. Feels like kind of a waste to just sit there and have say a party everyday. I wouldn’t even want to do that now even at a young age as there just seems like there is always so much to do and learn in life. I guess for some that would kind of change the whole perspective of how much money you really need to save during your younger years.
My thought is to never rely on some static savings anyways and so in that sense my “retirement†era should have various forms of streaming income. That way you stay semi active in making sure they are fully operational while at the same time you are working more towards making it so that you don’t have to be there all the time.
