Because once you check out it's very difficult to start back up if you decide there's something else you want/need.
I'm unlikely to just walk back in to my same position and it was difficult to get to this level in the first place. Think of it like if you were a great athlete but hated the sport you played but you worked extremely hard to make it to a professional league and get a hefty 1-year contract worth $10 million. You're not going to retire at 23 years old with $10 mil to your name after working hard to make it. Even if you hate the sport, in theory you're probably going to make a solid 10-15 year career out of it if you can milk it for even more money.

My boss came in today with a brand new hypercar. I was like Nice car sir. He let me in on a little secret. He told me that if I keep coming in early, staying late, coming in on my days off, and put in 110% at all times, he can afford another one next year. Man, so motivating.

First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the donkeys.
For me, work isn't all that hard, it's quite easy, I could retire now and move back to my home country and live a great life. But given what I make and how little work I do, I'll just continue to do this for another decade or so.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
