How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

I can’t imagine stopping to work. If I retire, I’ll have no money. I cannot count on pension either.

But I have an IT job, it’s just sitting in front of the computer all day; it’s not like a physical job I wouldn’t be able to do at old age.

Just wait until your eyesight fails you, and the joint that makes your mouse button click starts hurting.

Things that you love to do after work (like playing video games) start to sound like chores.

Shit, the 2nd paragraph hit much earlier than that. It hit me even before my 30th bday

Yep, here I am suffering some pain on my right shoulder, wrist an index finger after yesterday’s small gaming session.

Still, gotta Doom.
