    I’m 36, and retired back when the retirement age was 28. Over the past 8 years, I have been spending my retirement making crafts and selling them on Etsy for cents. I know it’s illegal to work during retirement, and I’ve seen people who were caught working and sent to the chair, but I still can’t help myself. Earning that cent for my craft is so satisfying that is very difficult to explain. I know all these posts are monitored and I’d probably get filtered out by a bot scanning these terms, but I’ve stopped caring. You can see I’m not even bothered to say *tsy or yet-see or one of the tons of ways to avoid detection. I just want to work and earn money for my work. It should not be illegal. If it is, and if doing that would put my life at risk, then so be it. I prefer dying to just sitting around eating government protein pouches not knowing what to do for the day. Etsy Etsy Etsy Etsy. Come on catch me you fuckers!
