Warning: Retirement Is Deadly

After only 10 years, I have determined that one should never retire. Retirement is deadly, and retirement papers should be required to include this warning.

The problem with retirement is that it’s much more work than work ever was. It is much harder to deal with life because there are always more things that you have to get done than you’ll ever get done. At work you could finish a project, but not in retirement. At work, you put in your eight hours and went home to relax. In retirement, you are already at home and there is no relaxing. Plus, you usually only have to work five days per week. Retirement is seven days a week with no weekends off, vacations or holidays. Wait, you say, there is time for vacations. Wait until you get back home and find what’s waiting.

I know that there are people that die while they have jobs, but everybody dies that retires.

This warning has been presented as a public service.
