I am retired now, thankfully became retired before the Pandemic. I'm fortunate to get a very good Social Security amount that more than covers my monthly living needs so I don't have to dip into my savings unless I really need to splurge on a big ticket item or fancy vacation. I usually just add to my savings each month
So I'm now able to make headway through the entertainment media I've accumulated over the years, watching films and TV I've not seen before as well as listen to Albums I've ripped or downloaded
My comics reading has ceased for the time being. Instead I'm trying to complete my comic download project first. You can never know when the free spigot can get turned off. Once I'm done I'll have plenty to catch up 

Well, being part of the first generation to earn less than their parents, I doubt I will get to retire until my body starts failing me. I started out Barnes & Noble, with a pension, until they succumbed to the 401K nonsense, in the mid-90s and turned over the program to that. Yeah, the stock market never goes down.....

I left B&N with what I had earned in the pension and little more, as they didn't exactly pay a staggering wage, even to managers. The only reason my salary was as high as it was, at the end (which is part of why we parted company, as they started targeting longtime employees, who cost too much in salary and benefits) was because I brokered the company's desperation to build back up a store into a raise beyond the normal rate. After that, it was nearly 2 years of financial instability, which ate my savings and what little I had, for a retirement. Part of that is my responsibility, for carrying too high a debt for too long; but, the economic reality was also a factor.

Right now, I have more money invested than I did before, solely because of my inheritance of 1/3 of my mother's retirement accounts. I am at least 10 years away from retirement age; but, the reality is that I could not live on Social Security, alone, even with that inheritance and another 10 years interest (assuming I don't need to touch any of it, which is a dangerous assumption).

I have harbored no illusions, since my 40s, that I was not going to get to retire at 65. Heck, my parents weren't able to do that, even with pensions and retirement accounts. My dad worked full time, after his retirement from teaching, for at least another decade or two, then part time until less than a year before his death. My mother worked full time, until age 65, then part time, to supplement Social Security and her retirement money. She continued to receive at least part of my father's pension, after his death, which is probably the main reason my siblings and I inherited more than just an insurance payout. I will probably working full time until either my body starts giving out (which may be sooner than later, based on current chronic aches and pains) or it is no longer worth working a full time job and switch to part time and Social Security. Either way, barring a lottery miracle, I don't see a life of leisure before the end. It's part of why I have always taken my pleasure as it comes, rather than look to the end for some big reward.

My only real desire is more time to read and watch the classic movies that I missed or ignored, in my youth. Beyond that, it's just the 3 S-es, a decent meal or two, and a few scratches for the cats.
