#2Why would I want to retire? I am old and most my friends are boring or died after they retired. Sounds like hell on earth. I like working, it is my hobby and life.

So you can work on things because you want to not because you have to. At least that's my plan. Not quite there yet.

#4> And what income is more passive than vending machine coin revenue? Automated vending has had a bit of a renaissance, with social media influencers buying old machines and turning them into a business.
Iunno, where I grew up, vending machines were controlled by the mob. Up to mob hits in the HQ’s parking lot.
Makes me wonder if pay phones are the same after the telco offloaded them.

I would imagine that's even more attractive to them in the old days, when they dealt in coins and bills. A modern vending machine probably mostly gets credit card transactions, which are traceable.

Makers, programmers, hackers always have to work by definition, the question is whether you also want to. That can be done anywhere, it's all a state of mind. Most of the answers to the problems of the world are inside of there.

This article isn't about retirement; the reference to retirement is the line the scammer is using to hook people. The scammer is telling the mark they will generate lots of money from passive income (from payphone calls), and won't need to work. It is actually an article about Ponzi schemes.

Do you already have financial independence? Not being able to understand why retiring would be desirable sounds like an incredibly privileged opinion.

Note that there are loads of things that you can't keep working on after you retire. If your company had you in a position where you ran really interesting projects, all of those are the company's projects, not yours. You got to work on them because you worked there, and once you retire you can't just keep working on them, you can't even do the same work on your own because your contract made that pretty clear: now you're committing IP theft.
So you retire, and by law you're no longer allowed to do the thing you love. It's not a good deal.

Ponzi schemes are pure financial instruments. If a product is involved it’s called an MLM.
