Ben Shapiro thinks you should never retire

Probably Ben's worst take of all time. What an out of touch, moronic thing to say. I guess it's easy to say people shouldn't retire when your job is doing a 45 minute to an hour podcast every day repeating the same takes over and over and you're a millionaire.

Any manual labor job isn’t really feasible past a certain age simply due to your body wearing out.
Office jobs are iffy depending on the duties involved.

Easy for him to say when he sits at a desk making millions

frick that! If I wasn't married with kids, I'd "retire" now. Who wants to work until almost average life expectancy and then just die?

Yes a multi millionaire telling us we should never retire. That will go over well Ben

Meanwhile in Israel, every citizen gets free healthcare and can retire at the age of 67. But that’s different, you see

Yea maybe retirement is stupid if your job is just to talk. The rest of us cant wait to finish our time busting our asses for companies that dont truly appreciate any of us.

I mean, for the majority of people, he's correct. Most people's health declines after their retirement because they're not nearly as active mentally or physically.
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.

Posting Media Matters claptrap. I suggest you watch the entire segment in its full form, not what some smug fartsniffer cuts up.

Out of touch and he needs to work a real job and then see if he will say again that you should never retire.

I’ve read that the average age of retirement today is the same as it was in the 1960’s, while we’ve added more than ten years to life expectancy.
Also speaks to the problem we have with social security. We should have been raising the retirement age for benefits alongside life expectancy all along.

Some expect Generation Z to have shorter lifespans than the older generations.

A great way to ensure mental and physical health declining rapidly after retiring is working until you're 75, making it your whole identity and being physically unable to pick up new hobbies when you retire.
I agree with finding things to occupy yourself when you retire, but continuing to work a regular job until you die is ridiculous and a miserable existence. At some point, you should desire to spend more time with family and doing what you want.

Ben hit that sweet spot in life where he enjoys what he gets to do and makes a shiteload of money doing so.
I begrudge no one who is able to do this but would also offer that Ben has no concept of having to “go to work to make a living” like the vast majority of us dutifully do day after day, year after year.

I don’t like Shapiro, but even when I retire I’ll still be doing something to earn income.

He’s such a dweeb.
This board fellates him.

This isn’t true.
