For me ER was not a target to reach, but more like a state of life I wanted because it enabled me to do things that were difficult because of work
Exactly. You do have to have some idea how you will spend your time in retirement. I had plenty of things to keep me occupied once I retired, and I've since even added to that list. So I am never bored, and certainly not disappointed in the least with the decision to retire. You only have so much time on this earth......why spend all of it doing what someone else wants you to do? You worked hard and long to achieve FI........take some satisfaction in that, and enjoy the rest of your life!
