I've been a mechanic-welder for 47 years, I've enjoyed the journey, I love to build/ create things, built the 3600 sq ft house I live in, wanted a pond on my property, bought the dozer, excavator,payloader and crane and did it myself, . My wife says that my brain never shuts off . Retiring next month, I have at least 5 years worth of projects waiting on me, I will never be bored ! My father was the same way.
The struggle is over, now what? Seek to evolve mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. There are plenty of challenges out there. Seek and ye shall find.
Retired at 38 and the best shape of my life. All my family and friends treated me like crap and always asking me when I was going to get another job (constantly). And dating was very hard because none of them could understand what retired means or disappointed because I don't have an American title.
I started questioning religion at age 3, eventually abandoned religion at 17, joined the Army at 17. went to college on GI Bill for aviation and engineering, always lived minimally and debt free. I work to afford things I wish to do. I have ideas and if I have teh money to go after those ideas, I would. I can't see myself every truly "retiring". I learned long ago that people tend to die after retirement, especially those with serious and regimented lives, like career military and the like. I left the military due to lack of ability to exercise independent thought, lack of ability to achieve my potential. I left aviation after realizing that while it's a good paying and flashy career, I was mastering it too quickly and was growing bored as an over glorified buss driver. I went back to engineering because every product is a new set of problems to solve. New challenges present themselves constantly. Every day is something new. It's not always easy, and there are stressful times, but the field is so open ended that there is literally enough to learn and figure out to satisfy many lifetimes. I'll never run out of problems to solve, things to learn, inventions to devise, etc. Growing up I always got along with my teachers and grandparents, never got along with people my age, even now. Old Soul. I self-discovered the concept of First Principles in high school, didn't know others had already identified and named the approach I came up with until a few years ago, decades after I'd learned it on my own. Starting at age 19, I have told everyone; "what is the purpose of life? There is no purpose, except that which you give it.". Once all your needs are met, there is literally no purpose to life. Live, reproduce, die. And then an asteroid hits the planet and wipes out any reason for having existed in the first place. And if a species survives all the Great Filters, what will they achieve? where does life/evolution end? What is it we're driving towards? So you have to decide for yourself what you want your life to be about. Had a lot fo time to think about life and death between combat missions. Buddhism got it right thousands of years ago. First you must know yourself. To know yourself is to know others. To know yourself you must overcome all of the lies of society, but especially all the lies we tell ourselves. We suffer only by choice. Buddhism cast off materialism, mindless pursuit of wealth, etc. After my time in teh military I kept asking myself, "how am I going to top this?". My unit accomplished great things in combat, and when you had such huge wins so early in your life, how do you top it? How do you keep pushing? I decided I needed new/additional goals. Achieved a measure of success I'm very proud of in aviation before switching to engineering. In engineering I happened to get lucky and find myself working for NASA and working on cutting edge technology, setting multiple world records/firsts in the space race, proving myself as an inventor with tens of patents, etc. Next I'd like to start a business and try to make show how to reinvent or rethink products and solve some problems people are still ignoring that I have had ideas on for decades. So I just keep going, finding new goals and purpose every time I accomplish yet another thing.
My boss congratulated me on breaking another company record. 2021 i made $102k. 2022 i made $115k. Can't get a none single mother's attention. What do i do instead? Play pool, ride motorcycles, scuba dive, and hunt. I'm 5'9" and 185lbs with a waist of 34".

I have a buddy who played professional hockey in the early to mid 2000s. Although he made money he would tell me all the time he was bored because it felt like a job. He had to be awake and at the rink at a certain time every day for morning skates, traveling, half the year, living in a hotel, seeing the same people everyday (teammates and staff) on top of always being terrified of being traded or sent down to the minors. He said after a while he really wished he did something different
You missed one word in the one hour I was waiting to hear; passion. After the struggle comes the opportunity to follow a person's passion. It might not substitute the struggle per say but one can achieve some form of satisfaction from it.. or maybe not. I don't know, I'm in the exact same boat as Cappy here at the stern of fhe ship. Iceberg! 😅
I'm left handed. Please don't abuse me, it is okay. I cope fine and like all left handed people I am actually more ambidexterous than all right handed people
1. Manage investments 2. Manage rental property 3. Plan next fishing trip 4. Still date, but unwilling to put up with nonsense a) Seeing woman but cautious and maintain freedom for both parties 5. Planning travel a) Already have seen the world; company sent me all over b) Thinking about special fishing and cultural locations not too far away with no terrorists :)
Finding purpose in life is a philosophical issue going back millenia. Decide on a goal (gardening or saving western civilization), make a plan that gets you closer, execute.
I'll be able to completely retire at age 37 with 100% disability and my pension (20 years Army service). All I had to do was deploy to the Middle East/Central America for 40 total months, destroy my body, and lose about 25 of my friends... everything comes at a cost.
i was able to semi-retire. My very good friends are "on board" with our plans, and we work towards them daily. COST: possibly my fiancee, my career of 27 years (it was weaponized and ruined for woke) and many of the people i had cultivated/cared for for over 30 years. Loss of my home (no biggie; it was in a blue and expensive area) - living alone with my dog - now i'm bragging - in a remote place making way less, spending WAY less, and doing side gigs for small cash. ZERO debt. Now paying for services only. My RV is PAID FOR, have title. Services i use are now on notice. Work outside, mostly physical work. Love it. So it's "semi-retirement" and the field is OPEN. Things get weird here, i can just leave and find something else..anywhere i want to live. I miss my girl; she went crazy. the mental "virus" was worse than the fake one. And i smile in the sun, everyday.
I lower-case "r" retired 4 years ago at age 53. When I was employed, I was being paid to think for a living. Now that I am "retired" I continue thinking -- I continue working -- and I get paid for it. I use my brain to rotate through sectors in terms of investing / speculating... Buy a profitable sector -- take profits -- accumulate assets (a portion of the initial sector purchased). Outside of that manner of working, the thinking activity is focused on ultra-running and mountain climbing. The calendar for 2023 was filled back in 2022 Q4. Life is good.
I designed a whole life plan before. I went off trail lol and it has been even better though challenging....nothing wrong with having a map and a plan....
After 37 years working for Big Boomer Tech, in 2018 made it to a 35 hour week full time remote. The 1 issues is I have to be U.S. based on a W2. Retiring is not in the plan unless I slow travel south east Asia. we'll see where this covid nonsense goes. No vax
wondering if I should take my high iQ to be a patent attorney as a challenge in life but then I got scared that what if I pass the bar , start practicing and get bored of THAT challenege...then WHAT do I do for fun... intellectually
Computer 3D modeling is what I use to keep my brain busy . Free to Affordable , mentally accessible , and has never-ending new mountain peaks to climb .
How about starting a new struggle? It's not what I would do, but it might suit some people. Here's where you can try some of that "dude bro" shit you thought about when you were younger. Start a business you're interested in and really want to do (if you can afford it) instead of the job you were in that you were doing for the money. A guy I know had enough money to retire at 50, was always into weights & gym stuff, got a physical trainer's certificate and now does personal training baloney. It keeps him busy, he works as much as he wants to, and makes some side money. He also talks a lot of bullshit, which is good in that business. Talk about your typical "dude bro", but he can afford it now since he already made enough money in a real job, and he has the business he always really wanted, but he's not gambling away his whole life on it.
I had a similar Internet issue before that just baffled me, and I still don't understand what happened. I was on my computer and it said it had no Internet connection. I couldn't load any websites or do anything else requiring Internet, but I was still connected to the voice channel in Discord talking to my friends. The text channels on Discord didn't work either, but somehow I was still able to talk in the voice channel.
