We have a guy at our work who is I think 69 or 70. About 5 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer, and was gone for about 2 years in treatment. Now he has to use a cane to get around and is pretty slow going up and down stairs etc. Apparently the guy is far from needing any money, and his wife also had cancer not long. Most of us wonder wtf he is still here taking away a job from a younger person who needs the money.
ABout a week ago I met him in the coffee room, and he says, "boy, it's such a nice day out, why are we stuck here at work". I wanted to ask him the exact same question when, he has money, but doesn't have a lot of time. Why aren't you enjoying the last bit of your life, ffs.
I also think , that once people retire, those without hobbies, and things to do, seem to age alot quicker and the life span is cut that much shorter. I'm thinking that is why this guy doesn't want to quit working as that will hasten the end for him.
