Why you should NEVER RETIRE (What you weren't told about Retirement) | A Video Essay

Показать описание
In this video essay, I'm sharing why I won't retire. I explain why never retiring can be a positive thing, and why I find slowing down, stepping aside and never-ending leisure problematic. I also touch on questions like "why do we retire?" and whether an "early retirement" is a good thing.

Factsss I agree I'm only 27 and I already think that way. Never retire especially when you do something you love/like.

YOU may think you'll never retire, but your company may have other ideas. I was downsized out of my job at 67, along with a dozen other people all over 55. After my "involuntarily retired" I had a nervous breakdown and went to outpatient mental health treatment for quit awhile. I finally sold my condo and entered a seniors facility and have never been happier. I have a great community of friends and we visit together, eat together and just have fun. I also read and do blanket-making for foster kids. When I was working I couldn't trust a soul, and the backbiting and nastiness were ever-present. My job involved far too much boring and purposeless activity and I often came home too exhausted to have any kind of a life. I'm 75 today and eagerly looking forward to the rest of my life.

Retirement doesn't mean doing nothing. It means doing what you want to do instead of what you have to do - and it's awesome, by the way.

My question is who retires and do nothing? Unless younless you classify traveling, volunteering, working out, going to social groups, ballroom dancing, learning a new language, etc as "nothing", everybody does something

Your video is excellent and I could not agree more. Don’t listen to the comments that say you are too young to have an opinion on this topic. Always remember it is easier to criticize than it is to produce!

My plan has no retirement within it.
I retired from the military pension #1
I work the federal justice system at 50 I can retire again #2
I plan to teach criminal justice at small school/university. Within that career you have holidays off, 2 weeks off during winter break, 2 weeks off during spring break, and 9 weeks off during the summer. I plan of taking trips and never

I’m 77 still working full time. Love what I do (legal assistant), great people, great boss. Much of it has to do with my attitude toward my work m, colleagues, customers.

Dude... you are a student and you talk about retirement. You obviously haven't been in a workforce....
Kid, being retire doesn't mean you won't do anything - you will still do things that you love. Once retired, you have the FREEDOM to choose what you do and when to do.

I decided to try out a different topic this week as a break from exam preparation. I’ll be back with another video next week with a video related to improving your chances at med school admissions. Let me know what you think of it 😁

A 20 year old giving this advice 😅. Appreciate your optimism, but you have no clue what it’s like to be 60 with 40 years of constant work behind you.

Great video. Here’s my story:
- 20 years applied mathematician
- 10 years management
- 20 years software enginneer

At age 74, temporarily unemployed due to project cancelation. Considering my options. Hope to find something new over the summer (As I write this, it’s early June.)

Bottom line: Like and agree with your vid.

I agree, but it is only if you have nothing to retire to. I retired last year from "Corporate America" & during my working years I just wanted out. It's truly a rat race. The dirtiest rat gets the cheese.

It took about a year for me to figure what I wanted because now I have my freedom. Guess what? I just want more freedom. But now I can control the type of freedom I'll have and I control how I will achieve it.

BS really I’d never advise people to just keep on working, we’ve been enslaved since childhood… take your retirement early and finally do the things you always wanted to do… no one ever at end of life says I wish I would have worked more…

20 something expounds on something 40 years into his future - should be the title of this vid. :) j/k, some valid points but get back to us after 40 years of working everyday
