Haven't you made enough to retire

I used my experience and skill to work in nonprofit leadership (2006). It’s been an amazing ride.

Of course, anytime.

Dude doesn’t even know how or what to do to give back lmao… look why not go plant a tree? Better yet plant 1 tree a day for 1 year, or 2 years.

Volunteer your time to an organization that you think is giving back.

How are you not retired by now?

How do you define retirement? For me this is kinda retirement where I’m sorta financially independent and now want to do something to give back to the society. We never retire from duty towards family and society.

I would love to pick your brain and ask questions as someone starting in my career. Can I DM you?
