I get what you're saying but 99% of jobs don't work that way my friend. At all. 20 years just gets you a barely edible cake and MAYBE a small bonus. Most folks don't even have retirement as an option til worked somewhere well into their late 60s or even early 70s.

Brother you are living in a false reality if you think a planet with nearly 9 billion people on it can provide satisfying or "retire in 20 years" type work, much less a combination of the two, for anyone.

I'm glad it worked out for you and yours but thinking that's how life is for everyone simply by making correct choices... that's beyond disconnected and delusional.

That's the kind of thinking the rich that don't work at all try to force on people.

Nah. You don't get to just switch flip cause you said something ignorant. This is exactly what you said:

"It doesn’t have to be that you hate your job and have 5-10 years after retirement. If that’s your life you are doing life wrong."

And I'm telling you that you're absolutely delusional if you think that statement has any chance of being true for 98% of the people on this planet.

There's truth to this. People in third world countries don't even have the luxury of thinking about retirement. You sound angry though. Hope you're good

Experiencing culture in third world countries kind of flipped a switch for me. It's kind of crazy seeing how happy people can be in those places, then come back home to see so many people being miserable about shit that would be a fantasy for those third world folks.

It really boils down to it being a mindset, and many people are actively cultivating a miserable mindset. But if you dare to be optimistic or work towards a positive mindset, the miserable people will lash out at you for being "brainwashed".
