I actually feel guilty because I'm retired in my early 40s. Did well for myself but retirement is boring as shit. I thought this was the goal, but I'm bored.
Your brain, body, keeping up with technology at the speed of real life...
I don't think I'll EVER retire... it's not something I can even really understand.
I watched family retire from the force after 30 years...then sit on their ass for another 30 years...
I've also watched family work their asses off, saving all enjoyment for "later" during retirement (what I call the deferred happiness plan) only to have a stack if cash, the new dream house and new RV - and literally DIE 6 months after "retiring"...
I'll keep doing until the wheels fall off... inflation made sure we're all going to work into perpetuity anyway... some just don't realize it yet.
You can make changes today. You don’t have to go out and get a job, help your kids or go volunteer at the food bank regularly. Go build a new house with your hands or find a place you’ve never been and explore. Just don’t stop moving but you can still leave time to relax, just don’t relax all day.
The purpose of retirement is NOT to become a lotus eater.
It is to be able to serve others with your time and talents now that you no longer have to scratch for a living. It's far more fulfilling that working as a wage slave.

Go do something...
It's very much, "Use it or lose it"...
