I think I kind of fear retirement. Not because of the age factor but more of what to feed the mind when there is nothing to do. I think I'd continue to work even after reaching the financial goals. But the work would just meant to keep me engaged and busy and not starve myself for the sake of money. That level of financial independence we all need to achieve sooner than later.
I agree. I think that I'll work just to keep my mind busy after I retire. So maybe, I will never “retire” :)
Yeah, I think of financial Independence (money) as giving me options. If I can't work anymore because of my health, or I want to sit on a beach somewhere, or play video games 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, haha, I want to be able to have that option.
