We lose a lot of our utility when we retire. One thing I hear from retired people a lot is, I can't stand the idea of retiring and all of this expertise and all these skills and experience that I've accrued over all these years is just gone. A lot of retirees choose to transition out of the workforce by transitioning their skills and knowledge to someone before they actually leave for that very reason. They just feel like it's such a loss of utility for all of that experience and knowledge to just go away when they retire. So it's something to consider if you're in a profession where you really value the utility of the knowledge that you've accrued. You might ask yourself, am I going to have sort of post-retirement regrets over the loss of the usefulness of that utility to other people? Me personally, I got over it pretty quickly. But I had one of our followers here is a surgeon and they said, you know, I really don't think I'd be comfortable in retirement just walking away from all those skills. I want to transition them to someone before I move on. So I totally respect and I appreciate that take on it.
