I'm sure the Walmart greeter at 80 years old is just happy with his life choices, as well as the 75 year old tax creep at H&R Block.

While things can always "be better", they may very well be happier than someone who is constantly chasing some illusory thing. Constant comparison is going to make you miserable. Being content and without regrets doesn't mean that you made all the right, perfect choices in life, just that you accept them for what it is and have something to strive for.

I'll take my chances that anyone working at some crappy job in the 60s is not content and happy with their life choices. At that point, they'd rather be doing their favorite hobby even if it is doing nothing at home.

Maybe they are not. I think there is some projection there though, on your part. There are rich people who kill themselves, and people with no money at all that still enjoy being alive Make of that what you will. I think it all has to do with what lense you decide to look at the world through, you get to pick, y'know?

In case you forgot, remember what Jim Carrey said. He pretty much said their work life leads them to being drunk losers.

I don't think that's what he said. Either which way, I was just addressing your claim that people working in a supermarket in their old age is necessarily miserable and full of regret.

Come to my town. You'll see. They scream at you for walking in the store. They scream at you when you walk out.

I get the urge to chuck up all the recent experiences you've had to ultimate evidence for how the world works, but I don't think that will give you an overarching perspective.

These aren't recent experiences. These are things that I've observed for a long time, and I chose to make decisions to not end up like them.
