Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Or am I?
Well, I am Financially Independent. So checked that box.
I do have a job. Full time. At least theoretically.
But it only requires my part-time attention. I seldom go to the office. Much of what I do is on a schedule I can dictate. Well, a few times a year I have key external meetings, and maybe an internal meeting that may last most of the day once a month. But most of what I do is reviewing documents and responding to email, which may take 1 to say 5 hours a day. But I am using my skills and capitalizing on my experience by not having to put in all that much time to achieve results. My team is also experienced and in place for a while.
I know some folks struggle with how to fill their time after FIRE. Some take a second act job, or work part time, or volunteer. It can be hard to find a part-time job that is fulfilling. Sure I complain some, but I try to keep it to myself. And here.
So perhaps I am already retired and I did not realize it until now. I just have the best part-time job in America?
Differing views welcome.
