Hey kids. I want to retire. It sounds like fun. Unemployment and government sponsored initiatives to give me money at the expense of children's livelihood (it is supposed to work out because everybody gets some, but that's not the debate today!)
I asked my mother what she plans to do when she retires, and without getting to much into it, she would travel a little but mostly do community work because grandmother(s) are still alive and they [parents] can't leave them alone to gallivant around the planet.
I dunno about that but anyway, I wanna retire too! I would travel around and bug people and overstay my welcome. Or I'll find ways to work for food/board, probably overseas and for charities or other such things. The only problem is that they're probably all Christian and I'd prefer to not be affiliated with them. Off topic: anybody know any secular charities that do volunteer work overseas?
What would you do if you were to retire RIGHT NAO? Woud life be epicly boring since you don't get to waste 45 years of it stuck in the 9-5 rut paying off mortgages?
Which leads me to another off topic - I define retiring when you don't have any debt. Debt = meaning in life. Without debt you're free and not a functional member of society since you aren't dependent on work [the subtle claim is we make too much money that without debt it would be excessive]. IOW when work is optional you are free. Blah blah ignore this paragraph
Let's all retire and go on welfare!
