There’s a lot of boring people out there but besides that I think when people get to that age, they don’t have the energy to live life to its fullest. They’re frail and tired lol. They spend their time watching the same re-runs, scrolling Facebook, knowing every damn news story, and maybe hitting up the slot machines sometimes. I don’t know how some old folks hit retirement. then stay home sitting on the couch everyday reading the newspaper and playing bingo once every 3 months while their spouse complains about the dishes not being washed properly. If I’m not having to clock into work for 10-12 hours a day, let the life adventures begin.
I’ll say this: when you start crunching numbers it becomes painfully obvious that the U.S. is expensive as hell. Like it’s become unnecessarily expensive to make it here. There’s a lot to love about the states but you can straight up flourish elsewhere if you bring U.S. dollars.
What would y’all do if you retired early though? Eventually it’d get boring I think.
workout everyday
learn to cook stuff
Pick up new hobbies
Read books
This sounds like my dad He retired about 3 or 4 years ago and all he does is read books and the newspaper all dayI’m traveling mad places. Working out everyday. Massages once or twice a week. Fishing and golfing often. I want a housekeeper/maid. Attending every sporting event.
i don’t have kids so the money just gotta last til my last breath. Basically just wanna be as healthy and comfortable as possible while seeing the world.

You telling me 200k is not enough for you to branch off and work for yourself?

Everyday I get up I'm trying to free myself from working a 9-5. There has been a couple points in my life where I had roughly 6 figures accessible and thought about telling my job to get bent.
I know that 6 figures isn't enough for me and my family to live forever but it is enough for us to be intentional with how we spend our time.
Like others have said I value my time more than my money. Give me enough money to allocate my time how I choose and I guarantee I live a happier life.
My mom is actually 65 and close to retiring and I can actually see the fear in her eyes when we talk. She's made a ton of good moves but I thinks she's worried that she won't have much to do when she hangs it all up. I actually see her taking on new unnecessary projects at work just to give her an excuse to stay around.
I keep trying to tell her these are supposed to be some of the happiest days of her life but work has consumed her spirit. I can't hate it but I don't want that for myself at all.
Like I said earlier give me a million in assets with residual income and 500K in the bank. I guarantee I work for myself from that point forward.
