There's only so much travel/hobbies one can do. I'm wondering if it's better just to cut down hours to let's say 20 hours/week work wise just to stay engaged/active.
I tried this at age 40-45. Seemed to be working great at first, but I can't do anything half-assed or have my name attached to it. Next thing I know, I'm working more than ever to clean up shite caused by others lack of motivation and detail. Then COVID hit and I got my arse worked into the ground, gained weight, blew out my knee, gained more weight and quit giving a shite about anything for a year or two. Now I'm 50 and pissed away my 40's trying to retire without retiring and feel like I've wasted a decade of my life.
So, I say reitre. Enjoy it and rejuvenate your mind and body. Make the most of your prime years and then do something later if you get the urge. My problem was I always wanted early retirement but couldn't pull the trigger when it came time, and I couldn't give up the reins and see the businesses I created go to shite. I should've quit, enjoyed life and then took them back over a few years later and then sold them again.
