I think its good to keep working, but only doing the things that you actually enjoy or have value outside of a paycheck. When I "retired" I found it kind of hollow and it was not all it was supposed to be.
I think that's called having a hobby
18 year old DM to the group: "Alright, let's all plan to meet up this time next week + 50 years. We should have the campaign wrapped in another session or two. Hopefully John can make it"
I have my hip replacement this week and next week the grandkids are in town. Week after that I have a bad fall scheduled. After that I should be free, might be dead idk.
My father lasted a year in retirement, after which he got so bored he went back to his last job as a "consultant" to his successor, effectively continuing what he had been doing in the previous ten or so years, except only visiting the office when he felt like it.
I don't recall him ever enjoying this job at all, but it seems sitting around with a sole purpose of waiting to die is even less fun
I am going to the office once in a while when I feel like it. Am I retired?
you get a paycheck and pension? :D
