Both my parents retired. Are they living it up? Are they checking things off their bucket lists? Nope. They're having emergency surgeries, planned surgeries, going to the doctor all the time, taking a regiment of pills or they die, and hanging around the house because they're old and their mobillity isn't great.
A just reward after a lifetime of work.
It's a scam, friends. You're going to work until you're dead or until it doesn't really matter anymore whether you're dead or not.
I used to get downvoted to shit for saying things like this, but enjoy and use your youth.
No matter how you treat your body, you do not know what will happen to it. You may be athletic, rarely ill, an extremely healthy eater. You can still end up with a genetic condition you didn't know about, with a cancer you never fully recover from, losing all of your limbs, losing your bowels or bladder. Dying. All kinds of things.
All of this can happen at any time in your life. Any time. You are not safe from bodily ailment just because you are young and apparently healthy.
Even if nothing happens until you are old and decrepit like a healthy person ought to be, you will still have lost the best years of your life.
Hey, I'm ~40 and this is that I do, too! Plus work.
Same. And take care of aging parents. And kids.
