Other than money, is there anything that would cause you to go back to w*rk again?
I'm married, but if one day I find myself alone, I might get a part-time j*b. I don't think I'd be happy sitting at home all the time by myself. If I got out some, might as well earn a few bucks.Other than money, is there anything that would cause you to go back to w*rk again? If so, what?
I'm 56...been retired about a year. There's much to love about it, but I'm still not sure that it's right for me...yet.

I've been working towards FIRE with my uber-complex Excel spreadsheet for at least 10-15 years. I had thought for the longest time that I would like to FIRE just so I could get away from having to do a bunch of stuff and just veg out.
Recently I've discovered a few surprising things that are changing my attitude and plans. First, I really like minimalism; I was minimalist before minimalism was cool; that means I need less stuff and therefore less money. Second, I actually get bored vegging out after a few days and am actually happier when I am uber-busy. Finally, I've realized lately that, for the most part, I actually like my job: I have a good boss, good colleagues, interesting stuff to work on, and the pay is really more than I expected.
On that last point, I know that things can and do change, so I'm still working towards FIRE, but now I think instead of screaming out of the building the day I hit FIRE, I may end up in the "I'll work as long as it's still fun and I want to" camp. Never thought I'd be in that spot.

I have also been retired now for almost a year. I guess I'm still on the retirement honey moon. Every now and then I think about how it would be to have to return to work and that's when I realize how much I enjoy my "freedom to do whatever I want". The answer to your question is a definite "no".Other than money, is there anything that would cause you to go back to w*rk again? If so, what?
Yes, like I stressed myself out driving the MH into narrow Idaho mountain roads, or across windy stretches of the open prairie of Wyoming. And I am still thinking about driving it to the Arctic Ocean....Really if you want to return to the stressful days of work you can create it yourself. Just look around!
