this is what my grandfather tells me. he has done really well in the stock market and worked really hard. he is now retired living in idaho. he just built a big house and an even bigger shop. hes doing pretty well, but doesnt seem to like retirement. he never says it but he always finds some work to do. building patios, building motors, etc. i guess after working for 50+ years you get accustomed to always working, and when you retire, it's like, "now what?".

id rather not own my own shop, it is too much hassle even with my small vw shop. id rather work for somebody like CAT and run my dads trucking business when he retires. personally, i like work. im bored out of my skull when there isnt any. i dont like it when people lump my generation all together. not all of us are lazyass freeloaders thinking life is like that on mtv. sorry, dont know how i went off on that tangent.
