Why do some people work until the day they die?

It's usually people that have loads of money too. Like my my accountant I'm pretty both of them are at least 75

50% bad fortune 25% laziness 25%stupidity.

Now these are just rough numbers depending on the person the percentages can be adjusted. But those are the 3 biggest reasons. NOBODY becomes successful without a little luck.

I'm talking about people who have plenty of money and yet still continue to work. Yes I realize there are those who have to work because not everyone is fortunate enough

Oh I misread what you meant. Some people love what the do. Some people just always have to be moving. Working they feel gives them purpose.
My mother is this way, and it drives me batty. Because she's a real type A person. She always has to be active. And while I think this is good for her, she's 79. It frustrates me because. Like when it snows she'll want to go out and shovel her walk rather than waiting till I get off work. I have to keep reminding her I love her drive. But at her age it's not worth the risk.

Because they love what they do- to them it's fun, not work.

Because they enjoy what they do
