Like many early retirees I suppose, there came a day when I had what is sometimes called a 'Eureka Moment' and realized I did not want to work till I was 65, then retire and drop dead on a golf course at age 67.
For me that 'moment' came at age 35 and so I came up with a 10 year plan to early retirement and financial independence. I achieved the goal in 7 years and retired at age 43.
Since then I have lived, travelled and sojourned in various places, in various ways. Along the way, I've fell in to various ventures, earned some supplemental money, got bored, moved on, got married (again) and just generally enjoyed life. As one t-shirt I had said, 'Just another perfect sunset in paradise.'
Here's how you know when you have really retired. When you don't know if it's Wednesday or Saturday and have to ask someone.
