some derive a sense of purpose-- the latter of whom are brainwashed by the right to love work

PEAK fucking lemmy. Jesus, you even angled in "the right". Very good, except you didn't put "capitalism" in there. B+

Maybe you saw my posts about giving up a high-paying IT career to sling rocks and mulch at Lowe's for $15? I'm that guy. In three short weeks, I'm happier, healthier, and you know what? Get bent.

Since we're all sane and fond of evidence:

In addition, retiring exactly at age 62 increases the odds of dying by 23 percent relative to men retiring at age 63 and by 24 percent relative to men retiring at age 64.

Guess what? We drop fucking dead without a purpose, and most of us find that in work we enjoy.

There is a difference between loving your work and being workaholic then getting paid peanuts for it; and then the boss expects others to do the same. There is a reason that employees hate over-achievers. I have been in places where we get like you. But at the end, you are not pleasing yourself, it is those at the top who will earn more than you ever will in your lifetime whom you are pleasing.

Fair enough. The far-left communists are also obsessed with work.

In addition, retiring exactly at age 62 increases the odds of dying by 23 percent relative to men retiring at age 63 and by 24 percent relative to men retiring at age 64.

Maybe because those who worked really hard in their younger years retire early, but it took more toll on their bodies than if they work more steadily. But what is the point of money if your body is too weak to enjoy the pension, and much of it goes to your healthcare, instead of enjoying a Caribbean cruise or a trip to see the Pyramids? I lost count on my fingers how many times I have read about and talked to elderly regretting that they worked excessively in their younger days. The physical injuries they received when they were younger act up again as their body could no longer hold up like before. On a more personal note, they regret not having spent more time doing other things like travelling or taking up hobbies when they were more able. I don't know about you, but missing out a lot in life and regretting on my deathbed as an old person is a fate worse than death, and I have had near death experience before.

I'm not sure what you're complaining about? Capitalism == the right
