    A friend of mine recently retired. He said that his financial advisor said he was fine to retire at any time, but he was doing easy hybrid remote work and thought to keep working to save up a little more.

    While this was happening, he reconnected with an old girlfriend out of state. He’d visit her once a month or so. They made plans for him to move out there once he retired.

    He eventually retired and had moved out to be with his girl. After a few months her cancer came back and took her out within a month.

    That was maybe 4 months ago. He told me the two biggest regrets he has is not retiring earlier, and not spending more money. It went unspoken that he wanted to have spent more time with his lady.

    I’m not one to cry, but taking the train home after that chat had my eyes welled up.

    It’s missing the ground falling out behind him too. In freedom-land if you stop chasing the money you quickly lose all support.

      Yeah, the exact same thing also occured in China and Russia, the so called communist country.

        They had earlier retirement ages and lower wealth disparity despite positive growth.

      I don’t think communism is the answer either but all you are doing is describing a community working together to achieve a mutual goal

        Why don’t you think Communism is the answer? Do you think Capitalism can last forever?

          Communism has never worked either. Simple as that. Both fail.

            It absolutely has, it has helped produce some of the most rapid improvements in living conditions in history. What do you mean when you say it doesn’t work?

    But if you keep chasing you might be able to afford the material possession that grants happiness! All you have to do is pursue wealth at the expense of yourself and others in order to afford it. And remember, you worked hard willingly so you should make others make similar sacrifices to live indoors.
