You made the right choice. Retirement, however, is an illusion created for the Baby Boomers to justify selling their soul for 50 years, then enjoy slowly dying thinking they can regain the happiness they lost between their 20's - 50's when they're in their late 60's.

I imagine I'll probably be working until I die, but I will never tolerate doing any work that makes me feel I'm compromising my core beliefs or sense of self.

If you find what you love to do and someone pays you, even if it's a pittance, that's way better than being paid a fortune to be miserable and waste your precious time.

I fully agree - at mid life - why would you choose to engage the last 50% of it being miserable.

Made sense for Boomers. Makes no sense for Gen-X/Millennials.

I also realized - there is a slew of fake Napoleon Hill AI generated content out there. This could be one - however the logic still makes sense.
