I've read about people becoming disillusioned and disengaged by retiring too early and having no plan to fill the hours. Has anybody been through this kind of thing, and what would be your advice to someone about to retire at 40?
I made my retirement money by building a company and selling it. Now I don't feel like building anything, reading any email or answering any voice mails. All I want to do is work in my woodshop, take care of my kids, play piano, and skate in the 3 hockey leagues i play in.
I suspect those activities won't keep me "full time" busy though. I don't aspire to be a professional woodworker or pianist, and not sure I want to do either even a few hours every day. If I did play piano a couple hours and woodwork for a couple hours, do some reading, get some exercise, and spend time with the family it would consume a day I guess but... i don't see that happening for 45 years!
My current plan is to "take a year off" from expectations and see what bubbles up. Maybe in a year I'll feel motivated to do another company, or something new I haven't even thought of.
I'm interested in hearing what others perhaps in similar situation and mindset did or are doing, Thanks!
