The Purpose of Work is Toward Financial Independence
George Jowitt Thanks for RBC report, https://www.rbcwealthmanagement.com/ca/en/research-insights/a-financial-plan-for-your-extended-retirement/detail/?utm_id=wm1554816105249600, which is a most excellent sober fundamental examination of old age financial planning considerations.
It is a "base line" for all financial planners and their clients.
"How to fund an involuntary or voluntary retirement from the workforce, either self-employed or third part employed as early as age 50?
This is the overarching and controlling factor redefining the purpose of work to achieve, maintain and necessarily increase financial independence.
The dominant component of financial independence is the funding of retirement throughout up to 40 years without former salary income and inadequate substitutes for same in precarious work, if any work at all." - Restivo
