I'm about to turn 52 and I've known my whole life that I'd never get to retire.
Yup 42 prob die at work. Lucky its just me and I don't have to worry about anyone else. Just turn wrenches til I croak haha.
Similar boat here but I'm only here until my parents go, then I'm done. I don't have any intention of continuing this bullshit until I can't anymore. I didn't ask to be here, I don't want to be here, I just don't want to break anybody when I go.
