Because that's all they've ever known. If I take my parents for example, they worked their whole adult lives and raised me and my sister. They have no past time, no hobbies. And besides, they were being paid big bucks for staying since they had all the knowledge about the job.
I don’t particularly see myself ever fully “retiring”. My job is pretty sick.
My current job I can basically come and go as I please. I bring my bike and go trail ride in the middle of the day. If I feel like working from home, I do so. If I feel like taking a day off, I just shift my days. My normal schedule is 4x10 so I get a 3 day weekend almost every week unless I’m doing overtime. And they pay out the ass.
I’ve gone up into the mountains for a week, logged in for a few hours in the morning, then gone out hiking/biking, then come back and finished up my last few hours while drinking a few beers. And not burned any PTO.
In debt can't sit home alone/no friends or something. If I had a pretty chill job, I may not want to leave even if I need money. It's also easier to wake up for your job when you know you have any stress at all that job because you don't need it and don't care if you get fired.
Why are they holding on to their jobs for so long? I don't want to work any longer than I have to.

Maybe they have to? I’m not a boomer but getting close enough to that age to worry about - no end it sight to the debt, the expenses.
Eh if you enjoy it why not?
