What Are You Doing Right Now? (167 Viewers)

I guess I'm not as passionate about my hobbies as you are. If I did them all the time, I would no longer see them as hobbies.

Of course it's bad. I'm not saying I want to work everyday until I retire. I'm actually working on making it such that I don't have to do that.

What I'm saying though is, even I could afford to not work for a living, I'd set up my life in a structured way to make use of my time in a productive and enjoyable way.



You can't see why people don't just travel the world as a lifestyle?

Why?



More productive? Yeah, if by productive you mean finishing your work in a 8-10 hour shift. But after the learning peak, which is quite short, you as an individual are stagnating or worse. And even when you come home from work, being tired and drained you have 5-6 hours to spend before hitting the bed. That's a lot of wasted time being thrown around. If person stays focus that time can be used way smarter. It's "just" the money.

How many people in your Entourage can stayed focused without a structure? And that work dread is actually your motivation to learn that new skill

I love working, even tedious jobs. Retirement seems liek hell.

Luther's work ethic fucked me up good.

You have that Lutheran/Protestant/Northern Euro work-ethic.

Gotta love dat lazy, corrupt, slimes, laissez-fare southern euro/Mediterranean way of life.

My dad just turned 60 and retired. He asked me to come by during my work lunch today, then he washed my car.

He won't admit it but he is that bored.

One day you're VP of marketing of a large company and the next day you're just retired Bob with nothing to do and all the time to do it.

Many lawyers refuse to quit precisely of this reason. As long as they're a lawyer, they're a somebody. Utterly ridiculous. Your job is just what you do.

Finally saved up enough to pay off the smuggler. Congrats.

Yeah, completely ridiculous.

On the other hand, I've got neighbors who are probably 75 years old. They are the nicest people and always invite me over for dinner.

My dinner conversations with them seem to always confirm how I feel. Life after retirement is an awakening. All the things that made you tick for 30 years are suddenly gone. As I said, you were the very important VP of marketing one day. The next day, you're just retired Bob with absolutely nothing to do and all the time to do it.

I tell them my view on life and they say, "I'm glad you figured it out 50 years before I did." My neighbors are happy people. From our conversations, I don't believe that they worry about money (or prestige for that matter) anymore. They understand that their years are numbered and spend time doing things they enjoy.

I try to find out when that turning point was. I believe that everyone has it. There is a point where you determine that "time" is more important than "money." My neighbors can never answer this. They just tell me that you just know. One day the reality of limited time on earth becomes very real. Then time>money.

You have to keep in mind that old people aren’t all there. Plus they have a different perspective after having made all that money. Grass is always greener on the other side. At the end of the day, money rules everything and we all need some.

Go to Stockton. You cant go wrong in Stockton.

Go to Stockton. You cant go wrong in Stockton.

¨Stockton was rated by Forbes in 2009 as America's fifth most dangerous city because of its crime rate. In 2010, mainly due to the aforementioned factors, Forbes named it one of the three worst places to live.¨

How low do you let your gas run? That’s irresponsible not to mention bad for your car.

That's because you're doing this in Bolivia and there are no gas stations. Or asphalt roads.
