Not working after retirement won’t work for either. I like staying active. That's why I have started putting down my bucket of hobbies I will do when I retire.
I have always wanted to go into farming. Probably own a ranch and farm. But I'm sure I won’t be bored when I retire. I plan on retiring at 50 and dedicate the rest of my live to serving the community.
I recently tried a new therapy group, and we discussed a topic similar to this one.
The host discussed how having too much time on our hands can lead to trouble.
The solution is to get busy and stay busy.
Like you said, rest without work isn't fun or fulfilling.
I enjoy working - at least on my own stuff. I never want to "retire" because I like doing stuff. I like being busy. I like creating and sharing, and also believe in being useful and contributing to society.
I think that the great masters of self development would agree that to live a powerful life, one must have a definite major purpose. My definite major purpose is: "I am a joyful creator, who provides value, in whatever I aspire to be, do, and have." For me, this is applicable to, and provides meaning for all phases of life.
I've worked contract jobs/positions. From day one, my role & duties were defined, which was a bonus. A stable contract position helped me and pushed me onward to better contract positions.
I'm busy getting out of debt, there's that. Hopefully by 2026. Then, I can try doing everything you write about, like having that huge emergency fund. 😂

By my standards, I'm winning at life.
Very true!

London wasn't cheap, yet the 9 to 5 paid off.
