Retirement is dumb. Not the act of wanting to quit your job and rest, but the word 'retirement'. Nobody wants to 'retire', to stop doing meaningful things, to relinquish work and purpose, to withdraw from society. People just want to be free. Gardeners, writers, builders, artisans, and community leaders don't want to stop investing time in what they do. They want to stop investing time in pointless meetings, office politics, customer apologies, endless marketing, and government paperwork. They want to retire from fiat bullshit. The great thing about working in the freedom space is that most people I meet are planning their free lives or actively building them. Most Boomers you know probably have a comfortable home, a fully charged retirement fund, and no fucking idea what to do apart from watch TV news and complain how bad things have gotten. We need a word meaning 'end my fiat life' instead of 'retire'. That way, more of us might seek freedom, rather than lock ourself in a different part of the cage and discover that when we arrive, there is nothing to do.
