I agree completely. Many, many people can't imagine doing what they want to do, all day, every day. They simply can't imagine it. The structure of a job is what they crave, having someone tell them where to be and at what time. I personally chafed at that for years and the day I retired, I reveled in the freedom. Freedom!
It's so hard for me to imagine NOT being able to imagine what I wanted to do. I too revel in it. And, to me, I'm not retired, I'm independently wealthy. Even without wealth, I feel wealthy.
