Gen X here and I’ve worked for the government for nearly 30 years. I’ve noticed a trend with my “The Greatest Generation” coworkers. They will work themselves into a grave while refusing to retire or work well beyond retirement age only to die a few months later. One dude was eligible receive a pension of $120,000 a year but kept working and dropped dead from a heart attack. Another dude was literally home using a bedpan but refused to retire. I’m eligible to retire in 4 years at age 55 and I’m walking out the door the day before my birthday because it falls on a federal holiday. Life is short and although I’m well very compensated for my job…it’s just a means to provide for my family. Nothing more. Nothing less.
