re: Ben Shapiro thinks you should never retire

Most people's health declines after their retirement because they're not nearly as active mentally or physically.

You sure it’s not because they are old?

It's not practical for every senior to work, but at an individual level it's good advice and advice I often repeat to my patients. If you really want/have to retire, pick up physical hobbies.

I don’t disagree with you, or Ben necessarily. The idea of working diligently for 40-50 years, so that you can live in a fixed income not working for another 20 is silly to be considered normal. Building wealth and living off of it once it meets your needs is not a silly aspiration.

Having said all that, working for retirement is a mindset for some, for better or worse. Some jobs it’s almost necessary.
