Comment on Is this it? Is there anything more to life, am I missing something?

I am 26 and have been in the workforce for a few years.
In short, is there something I’m missing here, or is work-eat-sleep-repeat all there is until I retire?
Yes, except for the fact that you and I will not be able to retire.

I’m almost twice your age and found out the holy 401k that I’ve been putting money into magically has hardly anything in it. So yeah, I’m not getting the retirement that was promised either.
But luckily I got brought down with a huge illness, so I get to “retire” on medical disability. I’m thankful for that.

That must have been devastating. I'm sorry to hear that.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
It could have been way worse. So it’s ok. Instead of going to work I go to doctors offices every few days. The rest of the time I do whatever I want. I’m actually enjoying life right now :)
