Just don't confuse wanting to work for having to work.

My grandmother, who had been retired for 30 years, turned her music-writing hobby into a second career after my grandfather passed by taking on artists, getting involved with concerts, etc.

I've met plenty of very old dudes in my hobbies of archery and shooting guns who are absolute masters and charge too little too profit or nothing at all for tuning, gunsmithing, and coaching.

These have nothing to do with keep a roof over your head, and everything to do with staying sane when the expectation seems to be waiting around until you die

Doing nothing for years is a good way to die younger. If you can turn a hobby into a 20hr a week "job" where you pick your hours, that can very easily keep you alive.
