I know this board is mainly about retirement, but is anyone financially independent, but still working? I realize that most of you have now either stopped reading, or am looking at me like I have two heads, but bear with me.
I still have decades to go before I am FI, but I honestly have a hard time picturing myself retiring. At the same time, I can imagine that never *having* to work again would make me have much less patience with the small annoyances of work, even if the overall experience is worth it.
I can imagine that someone born independently wealthy (aka trust fund baby) might have the same difficulty. I wonder how they make a go at a career, if only for the purposes of contributing something useful to society?
