      interesting question....

      Often times I wonder why
      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
      When sickness comes I must decide:
      When feelings go, theres suicide.

            Everything's going well so I don't see any reason why I should retire.

                Doubt there's anyone who's "fully" retired.

                There will allways be active sites. Hell, some people even consider surfing GFY to be work. (seriously)

                      If I was retired, posting on GFY would be the last thing I would want to spend my time doing.
                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                          I couldnt see anything more boring than retiring at a young age. You will have to wait around all day for your friends to come back from work and would just end up watching day time tv for the rest of your life.

                            Retire and do what? Watch TV like a moron all day long? Play golf with half dead people? Go shopping everyday? Fly around on airplanes to different cities like a rich vagabond?

                            Working is fun if you have lots of deals and businesses to play with all day long.

                            Fuck retirement, when I go down, my head will be hitting my desk like my father's did.

                                  Yeah indeed, i cannot imagine not doing anything...
                                  My connection was acting up the last few days, couldnt do anything, it drove me nuts...i was so bored all day long.

                                    yes, traveling the entire world for years on end, finishing a university degree in something you have no worries about making a career out of, and pursuing activities you previous had no time for, sounds boring as hell.

                                        Fuck retirement, when I go down, my head will be hitting my desk like my father's did.
                                        here's a few off the top of my head:

                                        - travel the world
                                        - hike all the best mountains
                                        - snowboard/ski all the best mountains
                                        - climb very difficult mountains
                                        - do several university degrees beyond your first one (if you have one to begin with)
                                        - spend more time reading
                                        - sail across the pacific
                                        - help other people

                                        much more interesting imo, than running a business lol.

                                          Regardless of my age I don't see myself retiring ever.
                                          I can imagine working less when i'm way older but apart from that I will retire when I'm dead.

                                            As for myself... I could imagine doing most of those things (just travel the world, spend more time reading, snowboard/ski all the best mountains, ...) for some time (whether its months or years) but then I think I'd need to get back into some kind of business.

                                            hope that makes sense

I could imagine doing most of those things (just travel the world, spend more time reading, snowboard/ski all the best mountains, ...) for some time (whether its months or years) but then I think I'd need to get back into some kind of business.

                                              hope that makes sense
                                              i understand. but i think i could take those few things i just listed (in all of 1 minute) and never have to run a business again for the rest of my life.

                                                  I have a dream of going to live on a garbage dump in Cambodia for a month.

                                                  I want to meet people like this, so I can understand their existence

                                                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                                  I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                              I'd love to retire, but I'd get bored. My idea of retirement is to have my business run by itself and I teach History or Constitutional law/history at the nearest community college for free. That would be awesome.

                                                                - climb very difficult mountains
                                                                - do several university degrees beyond your first one (if you have one to begin with)
                                                                - spend more time reading
                                                                - sail across the pacific
                                                                - help other people

                                                                much more interesting imo, than running a business lol.
                                                                yes, but would you do all of that just alone? i dont mean univertisty, i mean travelling, sailing, mountains etc.... doing that with friends would be much better but how about when your friends dont have the time for that because they have to work ( or you dont have any friends )
                                                                I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                                                    so why don't you start doing it now?

                                                                    Or have you just decided to stay here "just one more year" and make a few more millions?

                                                                    I am seriously curious

                                                                                Waiting all day for my friends to come home from work? Are you fucking kidding me?

                                                                                Those suckers would be getting an email from Peru or a postcard from Amsterdam... if they were lucky.

                                                                                Watching daytime TV? ahahahahaha... you are painting yourself as a very boring person.

                                                                                  For almost 10 years I have been suffering with serious heart problems. For a while after they were diagnosed I kept doing my usual work, but the stress was literally killing me. I have run my own businesses and been a workaholic all my life, so after a few weeks I was climbing the walls. Hence online porn...

                                                                                  Which mostly I don't enjoy. I have never been interested in porn, so for the first time I'm selling to a market for which I don't really have a feel. I'm an ideas/planning person, but now spend most of my time dealing with everyday details. I used to rely a lot on client/customer reactions for modifying my products and services and those hardly exist in online businesses. And at least until a couple of years ago, it was so easy to make money in this business, it has never given me any sense of achievement.

                                                                                  Still, I have very limited options and this beats watching soaps all day, so I shall probably be doing it until I drop...

Just look at mainstream and shit, its insane but I guess some doesnt care about paying 20 years the revenue of a compnay. YOu can always hold it for some years and sell it yourself.
