"Trabajemos" está bien. Lo que no está bien es trabajar hasta los 67.

Pretty much like here in the U.S.

Trabajas toda una vida, para después ir a recoger tu retiro con un pañuelo, porque es un moco lo que te dan para sobrevivir.

Ok, I got it.

I thought that you're retired of the work.

Yes it's right here in Mexico people old work having around 70 years old, and it for me is very bad and frightful, because the people of that age should be enjoying the end of their life.

That is your opinion. Maybe some people would enjoy working to the end of their lives.

If you say "lo que te ame" it means "do what loves you"

...Personally I'd say "haz lo que más te gusta" though.


Very true, Bob.

Lo importante para mí es el poder eligir. No tener que trabajar hasta 67 o 70 o lo que sea por pura necesidad.

Yes maybe it could be in some people, but well the majory that I have met in during my life, all they say that it better be resting the end of the life than working until pass the 60 years old.

A mí, no quiero dejar de trabajar nunca. Quiero trabajar hasta que me muera. A vivir sin trabajar (que me gusta o no me gusta) sería la cosa más horrible que puedo imaginar....

I got it and also I respect your opinion.
Then you should work until you die.

Apuesto que eres joven y sin hijos, ¿verdad? (si no, me puedes echar una bronca)

Hay más en la vida que trabajar, aunque no discuto que trabajar en algo que te guste es maravilloso

Thanks (!!), and yes, Malila - Rusty picked up on my meaning. The context of the conversation was that if you love what you do, it's not really "work". In my opinion, whether I love it or hate it, I don't want to stop working. Is there a better way to say that in Spanish?

No, actually, Here4good, I'm not young, but I am single and childless. That's part of why I want to keep working. The idea of retirement is terrifying to me because I will be completely alone and with nothing to do. I hate weekends, Fridays are depressing ... I can't imagine having a "last day" of work with nothing to look forward to ... ever.............

Te siento porque he estado enfermo para unos pocos meses y no puedo trabajar o ir al universidad. Todo el tiempo estoy aburrido, a ese punto si yo pudiera , trabajaría de gratuito, solamente para ocupararme.
