No one says on their death bed, I wish I’d worked more!Never heard the phrase "retire yourself to death," but I've heard of people working themselves to death.
Plus, you can retire and still do what you love. If money were no concern, I'd still be doing this.
That sounds similar to what they do here, too although there probably are some differences as well. Thankfully I have not been in a situation where I would even consider such an option and if I wanted to get the equity out of my home I would simply sell it, especially if moving to a different location or a care facility. I agree, it is a risky and unsafe deal and I wouldn't be able to enjoy one minute of my retirement knowing that I were living on borrowed time, so to speak, with regard to my home, my mortgage and my equity in it.
I'm fortunate in that in retirement I CAN indeed do what I love: taking photos to my heart's content and reading, reading, reading (often until the wee hours of the morn), and hanging out in libraries! You can take the girl out of the library but you can't take the library out of the girl......Never heard the phrase "retire yourself to death," but I've heard of people working themselves to death.

At 38. That would have been lovely! Reverse that and I’m sure that will be closer to the truth for me. After all we will have Covid to pay for for the next 20-30 years I’m sure.
That must be so frustrating! Were you able to manage a vaccination for your mother, or is that the one which has been canceled twice now? I hope you're able to arrange a home vaccination visit for her. Presumably you, too, are also looking for vaccination for yourself if you have not already been able to get it done......
Actually, no it is not frustrating. 🙂 The neighbor noise/pot situations are frustrating.
My bad if I wasn’t clear on the vaccinations.
So sorry about your continuing neighbour problems. That is the worst...
I hope you find out about your work in the study abroad program soon. Glad you found Ms. Witt’s account too.
Off in the Tardis again are we? I just looked up what Maladaptive Daydreaming is and ummm oh oh....well maybe maybe not.
Ever since the Doc dropped by when I was a kid; hell of an education travelling all of Time and Space in a little blue box! Nearly as good as battling the Borg, but - hell we all know the Cybermen are more of a threat...
2nd grade teacher called my a storyteller... Father called me a daydreamer... Guess both were right.
Then it's time to write your stories down, and publish them
