Retirement isn't not working it the freedom to choose where your energy goes. Retirement is the most purpose driven part of your life.

My career was one that gave me purpose. I felt valuable. It defined me and I was giving to my community. But the reality was that my energy was being drained in order to fulfil that purpose. Now I get to direct my energy where and when I choose.

I think that people who want to retire so they can play golf or whatever will inevitably be hit with some sort of existential crisis and go about seeking something to connect with their purpose.

Recently retired and I've never worked harder. 😎
