If you're immortal, you get to see your family expand to the points that organizing a single family meal requires 3 restaurants to house everyone.
Since you (presumably, otherwise it's a shitty immortality) don't get old, you don't get to retire
Retirement is a function of money/wealth, not age.
If you're immortal, you'd (not you specifically, just whoever in general) have to be a complete tool to go through hundreds/thousands of years without generating at least enough wealth to retire at some point.
