During the pandemic quarantine, I discovered that I will not retire well. I will just get into a hobby, and eventually monetize it, and I'm back in business. I can't just sit and watch daytime TV, I'll always be doing something.
How is that not retirement? You’d be doing whatever you want with no pressure. If monetizing a hobby is what you want, that’s not a job.
I would do the same thing and I can’t wait. I’m 49 and hoping to retire at 55.
Valid.
Weird vision of retirement if you think it means watching TV
It usually means spending days between doctor appointments.
My aunt is in the same vein.
When she says she doesn't know what to do, I look at the project I barely had time to do, but still spent nights and weekends building it.
When I retire sure I'll be bored for a month, but I'll figure it out
I didn't say that, I said I couldn't do that.
My point is, I always monetize my hobbies, even when I swear I won't. That means I'll still be working in my retirement, it will just be working at something I enjoy.
