Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
So I am in the category of FI then RE and now back at work. FI by 45 or so, RE at 51. I'm now 61 and working full time. I have no financial reason why I would have to continue working.
I went from lots of travel, high stress Mega Corp to teaching (college). The pay is much less but I am having fun. I have a long break between fall and winter terms, a decent spring break (1+ week) and the summers off. Since students are taking so many on-line classes, 3 of my 5 classes this term are on-line only. So that makes for fairly easy weeks in terms of specific hours that I need to be there (three days a week including office hours).
On top of that, my mind is being stimulated every day. I continue to learn new things, and I am being paid to learn...how great is that!
So every story is different, even here in the land of retirement nirvana. It's just a bit funny...I was the first of my group of friends to RI (by quite a bit) and in the end will likely be the last to truly retire.
