Incentives matter. Imo you are not productive if you are paid for doing nothing

[david-gpu]

Agreed. Retirees, even early retirees, are very unproductive because they don't need to produce anything anymore to maintain their lifestyle.

Ironically the happiest and healthiest retires do more than the bare minimum. Maybe it isn’t work but they’re staying productive (or busy?) in many ways. Not doing things is really destructive to the human psyche.

Many Retirees I know have very busy schedules! They're not $/€ productive per-se but they do quite a lot of work!
