A great quote from President Monson yesterday, that I hope I remember correctly:
"Retirement is not part of the Lord's Plan of Salvation."
He focuses on how we shouldn't ever take breaks from our spiritual responsibilities - that there is no way to "earn" some time off from serving the Lord.
I also found an interesting (temporal) article about unemployment. It reminded me of something I wrote in June about Volunteer Work.
Hard Work, No Pay
I still think this is great advice. As pointed out in the article, if we work for free, then we have a lot more choices about what we want to do. We can pick opportunities that will look great on a resume and teach us valuable skills - rather than just fill out resumes and field rejection letters all day.
