I feel that I may be getting too old for this kind of nonsense.

    I use to think working till retirement wasn’t going to be hard as long as you have the skills to get a decent job. I have a good job but just sitting down and focusing on work is so hard right now. I feel 30 years of working is enough but I have potentially 20 more ahead. Don’t know where that motivation will come from as it is spent.

      At some point the only motivation is the numbers in your retirement account. I’m a little farther along and definitely losing motivation, but I have kids in college, and way too little set aside to be able to retire

        I hear you. Things keep getting more expensive too. I have a non-communicating autistic boy so my retirement plans also include his end of life needs. Cant rely on any govt help anymore. I’ll probably be working till I die

    That’s why (well, one reason) I’m on Lemmy at nearly 2am.

    The sooner I go to sleep, the sooner I have to attend a horrible meeting.
