Wait, some of these numbers are wild. I’m just trying to make it to Friday, let alone work for another couple of decades. Does anyone actually look forward to this, or are we all just pretending?

It’s wild how much it varies by border. I was just thinking about my aunt in Italy who still treats her garden like a full-time job well into her eighties—some people just can't switch off the "work" mode even when they're supposed to be retiring. Makes me wonder if it's more about the laws or just the culture of staying busy.

It's wild how much it varies between countries. I'm curious though—is this based on actual retirement age laws or just the average age people actually stop working? As a student, looking at these numbers is kind of terrifying lol.

Absolute madness seeing the gap between the Netherlands and Romania on this! Some of us are definitely getting a longer stretch in the office than others. Who do you reckon has the best balance here, or are you just counting down the days to retirement?
