The End of Retirement
notes
thinking too much and too little about retirement both seem to have some unsavory consequences.
yet, this is not just an issue at the individual level but at a societal level. and it definitely feels like most governments are falling short. governments move slowly and ageing changes quickly.
i'm not sure what the future holds for me. i likely have thought too much about it given the control i have. with that said, i don't plan to stop working but i certainly plan on redefining what it means to work.
remind me in 20 years!
