I'm thinking they're not in this app tbh. But i could be wrong

Retired from the corporate world for almost 2 years now. Life couldn't have been better, even with the pandemic!
These are what takes up my time now: taking care of family and chores around the house, teaching, coaching sports, volunteering for non-profit, taking on odd jobs for small duration that I've never done in my life before just for the heck of it.
My emotional and physical self has never been better. And I'm still on the app, taking a peek from time to time, seeing what people are up to!
Congrats D1 and thanks for sharing your story
Also curious
Probably not on Fishbowl (an app primarily for working professionals)
Curious again. How do you find ways to meaningfully spend your time. We all tend to identify a fair bit with our work and it's a large chunk of our adult lives. Curious as to what fills that void, especially for folks who FIREd in 30s/40s
So I will comment as I un-retired. Think through retirement way beyond the financial. Think through what are you going to do and who are you going to do that with. It is easier said than done to retire when all of your friends are still working. Also think through ho you mentally define yourself. it gets old VERY quickly to say things like “well, before I retired I USED TO BE a consultant” Telling people you don’t work or volunteer to fill your days makes your opinion obsolete quite quickly. Anyway, am now recreationally employed. Will probably do this for a few years until more of my friends retire.
M1 D1 would be cool if you start an early retirement post or bowl. Most of the posts here are those on the path to fire. Would be fun to learn more about life in retirement

I could if I wanted to to be honest. I don’t for this reason. Will open a business instead (franchise).
Good luck. Hope it works out.
The “what do you plan to do” is a real question. I’ll look for a non-profit or volunteer gig. Or do freelance.
Might be nice to make at least the IRA cap to continue contributions as I draw down from standard brokerage. Plus to get some sort of health insurance discount
