The article explores the psychological dilemma faced by individuals nearing retirement, particularly a Reddit user who had planned to retire at 55 but found it hard to leave a lucrative job despite ample savings. This decision highlights the tension between the desire for financial freedom and the addictive nature of accumulating wealth. The user recognized that, although he could technically retire, the allure of earning more money and potential financial gains was difficult to resist, ultimately pushing his retirement back to 57, which contradicted his original plans of early retirement.
