Agree that having work gives me a sense of purpose.
When younger mostly wanted to avoid work but as I got older work became more and more part of my sense of value and purpose and enjoyment of life.
So now having enough stacked to 'retire' has not meant stopping work but rather means being more focused on doing the work I really want to do.
Since Bitcoin freed me to retire I have build three houses and developed an offgrid home, done some travel and a lot more.
So for me, retiring means NOT having to do the work that previously you felt you had to do to get income...instead being free to choose to do projects you want to do.
I agree. Sounds like you are living quite the fulfilling life. Keep it up.

Yes the weird thing is now I'm 'retired' I feel more productive than before when I felt trapped in a cycle of 'work' and survival.
The fiat debt monetary system traps many of us into a soul destroying cycle of work that is more like slavery, debt and needless consumption. The banks are incentivised to impose as much debt upon us as they can because that is how they profit from us under the fiat debt system.
The banks do not want people to have liquid capital (savings) and the consequent freedom and power to live their lives more creatively - they want us trapped into wage slavery and debt.
A lot of people have already been empowered by Bitcoin to live closer to how they want to and that builds a more positive productive and free society.

I feel the same. Since I quit working a regular job, I am living a simple, way more fulfilling life. I used to be in a debt trap, always consuming, it was never enough. Now I work on all kinds of things and I am super excited about my many projects.
