I watched my uncle retire at 55 from AT&T. Ten years before he died in his late 80's, I saw him sitting in a chair, staring at a wall for longer than felt comfortable to me.

Made me shiver.

I retired 2 years ago. I'll never work another fiat job again if I can help it.

I've spent a good portion (maybe 18 months) mourning my old career & exploring what excites me. It's not that I don't want to work, its that I don't want to be a fiat slave anymore.

You definitely need to find a new purpose & a reason to get up in the morning.

These days I'm up before 4am & don't set an alarm. My days are filled with productive work on my land.

What I'm realizing is that completed projects are far less satisfying when they're completed solo & for myself.

That's the thing. My uncle did a few things that were pretty cool like going on the Senior PGA tour but he didn't "build" anything like a business or a piece of land and it was just sad.
