    Maybe I’m a bit of an optimist but my grandpa does door dash too, not necessarily for the money because he was lucky enough to have a good retirement net, but just because he fucking hates retirement and is so bored now that hes not allowed to do handyman things anymore (doctor and grandma said he’s too old to be running a table saw or climbing a ladder) so he does door dash.

    We did make him go pass a driver’s test before we let him though haha

      People choosing to stay in the workforce until they almost tip over is great if that’s what they want. There’s definitely something to be said for keeping some sort of structure. If seen retirement degrade way too many people.

      Being forced to stay in the workforce needs to die a swift death.

        Yeah some people simply can’t create the structure that a job creates for them and just rapidly decay in retirement. Others work harder in retirement than they ever did during their careers
