Letterman says retirement is a myth

I largely agree with him. My career is expanding in unexpected ways and I'm thoroughly enjoying the activity. I don't have to work for money, but I do have to have something productive to do. It just can't take up a lot of time.

The difference between having a career and being retired is more profound for some than for others. For someone who ran his own show for decades, the difference would trend towards profound.

It probably also helps if you have a really interesting, fun job.

@Doctor-Phibes Yeah, his idea of "working" is chatting with celebrities while a camera is rolling. I am sure his old network show was a lot more consuming than that, but I'm not sure his current online show is.

The end of the article compares working vs sitting on a beach. While the latter would be relaxing for a few days, I've mentioned before here I hope to retire as early as possible (maybe 57? depends on the stock market over the next 10 years or so) as my personality is one that would never get bored. Books, movies, travel, golf, swimming, volunteering with youth, photography, etc. There's so much I want to do now that I don't have time for.
