Date: January 18th, 2026 11:13 PM Author: Sable Ungodly Queen Of The Night it is demonstrably true, how many retirees do you know and what are they doing? at best you can buy some stupid cheaply built house somewhere warm and not be around your grandkids while you mostly sit around in your stupid house (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823756&forum_id=2...id#49600154) |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:14 PM Author: scarlet base dysfunction sure but the 60 year old who could retire comfortably could still have some decent life before they get too old and frail and they could see their kids/grandkids more.
why slave away in BIGLAW the last decent years of your life? |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:16 PM Author: Sable Ungodly Queen Of The Night because they can't, there is nothing to do, what are they going to go to the movies 4 days a week, play 8 rounds of golf and take up hiking? No, they are going to sit around wherever they are doing the same things they've always done. At some poing life becomes waking up, fiddling around, eating lunch, fiddling around, eating dinner and then going to bed in front of the tv and if you were the sort to do anything about that, you wouldn't have spend decades in biglaw, you'd have been a ski instructor or something cool (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823756&forum_id=2...id#49600162) |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:20 PM Author: scarlet base dysfunction that's really depressing, but probably accurate.
I think if they leave by age 45 they have a chance to readjust. But I guess if they stick it out that long they just can't leave at that point, their career becomes too much a part of who they are. |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:48 PM Author: contagious really tough guy orchestra pit I've worked for guys in their 60s and older who were like this. When you have wasted all of your early and middle age years grinding there is nothing left. These guys have no hobbies, nobody they really care to be around all day, there is nothing else for them. Their brains are blown out and not capable of enjoying anything new. The only thing that keeps the fear of death away is to just keep grinding.
Better to quit with just enough early than keep going. There is no special reward for playing out the string. But if you don't quit early enough you are fucked. |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:54 PM Author: scarlet base dysfunction yeah, I put the "quit with just enough early" age at somewhere between 40-45. If you stay longer than that there is no getting out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823756&forum_id=2...id#49600209) |

Cut the retirement goal BS and spend your working years doing stuff you love when you're able bodied, healthy and have the energy. Push the limits of whatever time off you can get and afford. Fuck all the waiting to retire bullshit. Life is short, don't fall for the BS. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823756&forum_id=2...id#49600243) |
