the amount of people around my age that are just wishing to do nothing and retire is seriously worrying

hopelessness will lead to the yout betting it all in the crypto markets as if it were a lottery ticket, for a chance of retiring.

and even if they do win, they’ll still be unhappy.

something is fundamentally broken.

Yes tanel the system is broken it's been broken for a long long time

sadly the definition of work is very fragile under an ever evolving abundant society

We’ve lost the spiritual perspective that were made for work. Not corporate, rat-race work but meaningful work. Creating things with our hands, our minds, together in unity.

For me, being financially independent wouldn’t be a ticket to retire early. It would be a ticket to do meaningful work that the world no longer values.

I have enough passive income not to work and I tried not working for a while, but right now I'm working two jobs, because I have the time and energy and it means having even more money.

while money is nice, it doesn’t fulfil you

the feeling of doing exceptional and beneficial work is something that does 💜

What are some of your passiven income streams? Always fascinating to hear.

If I could retire now I would do paintings every day and be happy.

But I don't have a passive income that allows me to do that.

not yet, it will happen 💜

I know, in about 15 years... 🤭

We need to make the world better

Though I feel most of the people in my generation wanna be influencer instead of retire

Also worrying

it’s okay to have a small portion of influencers, but it’s gone way overboard in the last years or so.

it’s up to us now 💜

I sadly feel lots of things are fundamentally broken. Humans in my opinion are devolving. It's so hard for my boss to find another worker it's crazy how many people are comfortable with not working and living off the government. I just don't get people. Our world feels strange atm 😔

I fractured my arm last year and the time off from work was nothing but destructive to my mental health. I don't get how people can sit home all day.

Life is way too short and everyday is 86,400 reasons you should be mind blow your a pile of atoms that is on this tiny planet in an inconceivably large universe. That shit needs to be cherished.

I'm working towards the choice to work. I want to retire in the next few years but that doesn't mean I'll stop working. I'll just do what I want to do. Donate time to charity. Do the work I want to do now but isn't financially feasible.

Yeah I'll slow down and probably enjoy life more. But I just don't want to HAVE to work.

This. Retirement should not be a goal in life. That's just asking for a degenerative brain. My papa is 73 and still going hard in his business because he LOVES it. I've been telling him to slow down and retire for almost 20years. I stopped trying to get him to slow down when I understood how much he loves what he does 💯🙌🔥
