I may WANT to work again, should my choices dictate. But probably, definitely, not in the way that a lot of people work ā because they have to, because they're trapped in a debt cycle, because the lifestyle they've chosen comes with a never-ending financial responsibility, because they care about status and appearances and bigger and better and more. Not me.

Upping the Ante: I’m 36 and I’m Retiring (Temporarily)
The average person works super hard for ~45 years and hopes all his efforts have paid off; that he will still have physical health and presence of mind (and financial security) to enjoy the time he has left. It doesnāt always work out that way. Case in point: my father. Iām young (36). Iām healthy. Iām single, un-obligated and uninhibited, with only a pup to care for. So to my employer: it's over. Itās not you, itās me. Call it a sabbatical or a mini retirement or a temporary early retirement, I need to put my priorities, passions, and purpose first. Iām going where the creativity takes me, while I have the blessing of mental prowess, physical health, and minimal obligations.Ā
