I think retirement is a pipe dream...

I think one reason I'm never bored is that I started adulting at such a young age that I "waste" a lot of time doing childish things that I felt I never got a chance to finish as a kid/young adult.



That’s an interesting point.. im kinda similar, in that i sort of grew up with my own parents, who were very young when they had me.. and they were divorced , so that made me grow up quickly as well; I always felt burdens that maybe other kids didnt feel.. later, i had a half-brother who is roughly a decade and a half younger than me, and i found myself having to take on some parental stuff, like picking him and dropping him off from daycare when i was in high school, and shuffling him around on weekends to soccer practice and stuff.. that might be one reason ive never had kids, is that i feel like i kind of already did it at a young age… and i , too, never ever seem to get bored .
