That is, do you feel like your worth as a man is related to your practical utility?

8 whole months late, but if you're working at an old age, it should be because you want to, not because you have to. I don't want to have to work after certain age, I want to feel assured that I can stop at any point in time and it won't jeopardize my entire life. Doesn't necessarily mean I'll stop working when I meet that goal, but I do want the option, I want to not feel forced to do it. I want that for my family as well, I don't want my mom to still be having to worry about bills, I want her to keep busy doing stuff because she likes it, not because she needs to.
