That’s because for some reason, some people actually like working, which I never have. Nothing is more mind-boggling to me than people who can retire but don’t. There are already more books to read, movies to watch, video games to plan than it’s possible to in one lifetime. I’ve always wanted to take up woodworking or learn a foreign language. If I had the time I could grow a big vegetable garden, do some homebrewing, and do more hiking. I immensely enjoy my days off when I can just sleep in, putter around in my PJs cooking a hot breakfast, and linger over that second cup of coffee while catching up on my favorite blogs. It’s still kind of hard for me to understand why some people prefer getting up at 6 AM, going into a workplace, and dealing with a boss/customers/whatever over doing all of those things.
