Working on something cool well past 'usual' retirement age because you like your work and want to stay active to stave off brain rot - cool. My dream really, I can't sit still.

Working until death a demanding, soul crushing job for peanuts because you have to survive and support your dependants - inhuman. Dont @ me.
