This framework fails to consider all the time between those main activities, which we spend shitposting.
“Free”
Both my parents retired. Are they living it up? Are they checking things off their bucket lists? Nope. They’re having emergency surgeries, planned surgeries, going to the doctor all the time, taking a regiment of pills or they die, and hanging around the house because they’re old and their mobillity isn’t great.
A just reward after a lifetime of work.
It’s a scam, friends. You’re going to work until you’re dead or until it doesn’t really matter anymore whether you’re dead or not.
Hey, I’m ~40 and this is that I do, too! Plus work.

40 years? Try 50+
I started working at 14-15, and I’ll be happy if I can retire at 65
Don’t mistake this as me saying this work-til-you-die shit is okay, cause it’s not. But freedom is as much a mindset as it is a material circumstance. There are people who have everything but freedom and there are people who have nothing but freedom.
Free? That’s when your kids send your grandkids for you to take care of. Ungrateful bastards…
40 Hopefully!
Suicide until you’re reincarnated in billionaire family.
The Beatles had the meaning of life in a song back in the day- Life Goes On
That’s it, it just goes on
If you’re lucky you have a kid

Probably die
Work
Die
Study never stops though. So technically study would be 60yrs. Shit, I studied more in the US Coast Guard than in school!
It’s not that bad. You’re generally not aware of what you’re doing for the first 10 years. Then study for the next 10. Then, if you work to live and not live to work, you might get something out of life. Anything post work, I kinda see as a bonus, not a goal. Predisposed medical conditions may mean you aren’t seeing those years anyway. Actually… it may be that bad lol.
Just don’t take it that seriously. Live till you die.
