Because you worry too much about your retirement

You’ve spent your whole life doing work that’s not your true work.

You thought it was the only way you could save enough for a comfortable retirement.

The day finally comes. You say farewell to your colleagues. You leave work for the last time.

You don’t know what to do with yourself. You don’t know how to live life without work, because you’ve never had the opportunity to live life without work. You’ve never discovered your true work.

For a few weeks, or a few years, or a few decades if you’re lucky, you wonder why you worried so much about your retirement that you sacrificed your true life to it.
