Let's say you got a super power, in every 1000 count of you buy Toto. You guarantee kena. But you must be the 1st toto customer every time you buy, queue yourself, check yourself and claim yourself, you cannot hire people queue for you.

Now, you are 70 years old.
Will you still go to buy Toto?

in opis now.

I will still work in my 70s if I am able to and still working in the same place:

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5403291&hl=

wheres this

what question is this lmao. rich people job not hard. if hard also it pays well. if he has to work and get paid like the people he hire you see he want to work when old or not.

Not about work, but have something to keep themselves occupied

Different goals in life



https://theindependent.sg/american-man-who-...till-in-the-us/

Ego so big ah. Don’t reply la. Or delete also can.

Exactly. Close thread tq.

his definition of work is order ppl like u around

because they will not know what to do when not working

go read up one a US asian millionaire .. inherit his fathers biz and grew it exponentially, for 20 years work hard until mid 40, never even married etc

one day, he just sold it off - try to start new biz but cannot huat like his previous biz, no excitement so he went las vegas gamble (one year, 20% of the casino profit all from him one)

I want to work until die.

If I retire not doing any mental work I will sure get dementia punya.

there are a lot of work u can do that isnt getting-paid kind of work

like writing, volunteering

He is born for work but forced to party

Ts is born for party but forced to work

bill gates also still working
Yilong ma also still working...

Different pipol use brain differently. For me writing sure will get me dementia due to too much imaginative thinking. I need a lot of computational and logical thinking.

London (a bit outskirt). Nice environment to work

that why u poor. u call money making work/a job.

he call it life.

Ask him

Ask here for what 7

your company sponsoring visa?

diu

already said he not free to meet me

Plot twist, u do it so u can piap2 outside and escape from waifu

Workaholic is in his blood
You just love to work

if he didn't work and just sit around he will become stupid like u ts

life pretty boring if he dont work, maybe help him find a hobby

err because some ppl enjoy working? simple as that.. like my current boss

Coz need money tostay alive..

People hunting new intern girl pok pok cui

People who work hard to be wealthy tends to continue to work … cause working hard becomes a habit …

Only those rich second generation will not work but spend money like crazy on unnecessary things … and get wasted …

Continue working won't help avoid dementia IF u're repeating the same thing/process/procedure everyday.

The key to avoid dementia is to remain inquisitive, willing to learn new things, appreciate good food, have a hobby.

better to work or have something to focus in life.......if retired nothing to do, health might deteriorate fast for some elderly.

retire then what? gv u hari2 abalone seafood every month travel here and there pun, you will soon start to feel empty and useless eventually, sucessful people hate this feeling

I think UK mau mati liao.

Ngaku punyai Luxe Airbnb business zero reservation until CNY day... Haih...

Cold Spell and Economic Depression starts. If until Feb still vacancy over 50% had to start plan for discount 20-30-40% liao

OOPS kantoi....

But honestly la, kerja is fun. No kerja is boring. At least Kerja daily, I still got the umph to wake early, water my plants, harvest some herbs for later wife lunch or dinner use, can plan what I wanna cook, then when keluar house, pocket got my Tesla Key, but jalan kaki to underground take tube pigi kerja. (Trivia: Nowadays Underground also got yinternut liao, no longer as rural stupidos as before liao, hooray to underground tube improvement)

Daily life like this is fun for me, better than today plan where waste money, tomorrow plan where go die with friends etc. I find these menial matters like cook what, how to go work, what seed to buy, what plant to get, what meat to get, what to cook, and where to watch, what coffee place gooding, is nice.

My wife lagi lahanat. Suddenly mau pigi inner Mongolia makan who roast lamb. I also DLLMCCBKNNHKC betina sial... OK let's go.

A man takes care of his family

Once retire, die from depression and anxiety faster

Like my boss 73, still come office Mon-Sat...
Got bungalow in Damansara Country Height, got 2 empty plot haven't build.
Got land everywhere in Msia, got apartment in Canada, SG UK
Still work ...
I guess some ppl say "once u tasted it, u can't stop" is true

Really rich ppl used to working life, not the fake rich thinking 5-10 mil cukup for retirement. Even myself one day reach 60-75 also will keep on working by meeting clients to give consults or increase knowledge by attending webinars and online training.

It’s not onli the money but keeping our brains occupied with facts and knowledge while charging our brains with activities. I also goto the gym to keep my body fit and eat less compared to when I’m in my 20-30s. I got money in epf, Asb, btc and income from my consults while my children have their own study funds so can go slow but still working. I dun work in office 9-6 and waste time wif office politics or go evening drinks wif colleagues which is waste of time toking kok. Maybe I will retire if have a billion ringgit

Retirement is a bad concept to begin with.
It was born out of necessity bcoz there wasnt enough jobs for the soldiers returning from war. So the chancellor of Austria at that time, Otto von Bismarck implemented retirement age and gave those elderly annuities $$ for them to quit their job.
Thats the legacy story.

Retirement is not for everyone.
When you out of job, you will feel useless. The skillset that you accumulate over the years, suddenly becomes obsolete/irrelevant.
Overnight, you become a stranger to yourself. All your insecurities creeps up, some will show their true colors to you.
Your brain turn to mush quickly. You walk less, talk less. Soon, hospital is the designated destination.

It is not bcoz you need to work, it is you want to work.
It is not you can't retire, it is you who choose not to.

Ex PM Old horse still work at 100, good example there.

work or die. choose one.

Ever realized that those who do not work, tend to expire very fast. How do you think Tun Mahathir is still around? He still works.

Retirees usually die within a few years of retirement.

Working a job you enjoy prolongs your life. True storey

If own business, work till die also nvm.

If work for someone else, you don't want retire also ppl don't want to keep you any longer

So work for yourself if and when you found your lobang. Escape the 9-5 grind. (and welcome to 24/7 grind)

This is same like saying money can't buy happiness

Those who say that just dunno where to shop.

Whatever happened to volunteerism and activism?

Noodle shop where some old aunties work retired and I am sure they have made a lot of money.

Weeks later, they came back reopen shop and still making noodles until now.

I think they work because they love their job, probably got bored sit at home doing nothing.

You think post pandemic, still have wealthy people want to expose themselves to germs by volunteering ar? Get with the times, friend.

Health more important than activism. Once kena one viral or disease and get bed ridden until burst your 1 million health insurance, then you will know why most rich people avoid these things now.

Base on my current income, I will work until forget wake up.

If not, I will traveling around.

Money = Freedom.

just to pass time

If kena jackpot I also will continue working

70s? He still cannot beat Tun M, 100 years old also still go to work.
Meet people from around the world, attend event, give talk. Everyday full schedule even during hari raya also must meet people..
Not only got the highest title; anak2 cucu billionaires, he himself very rich, still work.

Waking up with no purpose is a recipe for early death.

sure one can find new hobbies and stuff post-retirement but those are reliuctantly done to fill up their idle time, not something they had been doing passionately and skillfully for 30 years before.

dont know how you would relate to that, and obviously you have reach that level yet

Jap ye, aku pigi tanya atok

actually no

i visited him again recently

he works REALLY hard, he sleeps like 3 am 4am sometimes. always traveling around to close deals with client.

he is always not in office because he needs to travel a lot. not just meeting client, but also attend conference and keep up to date with latest technology
