I'm interested in hearing why people would work OMY after FIRE for reasons OTHER than "financial insurance"? Extra travel, nicer car, help out kids? What is "worth it" to you?

Because calculations that indicate one is FI do not predict the future with certainty. People with conservative risk tolerance want to build in some contingency funding.

Lots of good reasons, extra safety factor, don't hate work/co-workers/boss, don't know what to do all day, health care, just chicken, etc. But for everyone:I'm interested in hearing why people would work OMY after FIRE for reasons OTHER than "financial insurance"?

I'm going to approach the question from an entirely different angle. I call it frugal fatigue. After years of doing without, retirement expenses completely covered now, if I work another year I can buy all kinds of toys I've done without for years. It's only an idea I'm playing with.

If I should choose this option, it will only be done by consulting or contracting, and even then intermittently, a year at most. My entire PF could vanish today and I would still quit my current employer as planned 3/15.
