"my ultimate goal is to get to a point in life where I don't have to work on a single day of my life". I can appreciate that goal, especially if you're working on something that allows you to achieve that life. Would you like or not like a life where you don't have a job or really need to have one?

I’d love that, because then I could finally focus on a passion of sorts instead of slowly burning out until the end like an old candle wick

I started working when I was 12 years old, landscaping. I bought stuff I wanted cause Dad bought everything I needed. After retiring, I wanted to work, to buy the stuff I want cause working for 54 years got me the stuff I need. I'm not wealthy, well-off or even rich. I do NOT want to be supervised or managed. Respected would be acceptable. I still have a lot to offer, but I'd much rather work for myself or not at all. Respect in employment is largely lost, at least in the US. Enjoy your time off but please find a way to share your wisdom, experience, trials and tribulations; at least leave some breadcrumbs.💙☮️
