I had the good luck to be able to semi-retire in my early 20's. It sucked. I was constantly stressed, constantly anxious. The smaller my problems became, the larger the apparatus my mind would form to deal with them. I went back to school, got a full time job, and am now much happier.

Anecdotally, I've seen men in my life go from healthy, vigorous working men to shells of their former selves in retirement. It's as if retirement aged them fifteen years in two real years.

If you idle your car, it causes more damage to the engine than if you drive it.
