Hi!
Thank you for sharing such deep and reflective thoughts. I completely agree with you: the idea of "retirement" is often presented as a final destination, but in reality, it can be so much more.
As you mentioned, having a purpose is essential. Life isn't just about accumulating wealth; it's about contributing to something meaningful. Working on projects we are passionate about can give us a sense of direction and fulfillment.
True freedom isn't just about not working; it's about choosing how we want to spend our time. Whether it’s traveling, spending time with family, or pursuing a hobby, what matters is that those activities fill us with joy and make us feel alive.
The question of how we would spend our days with financial freedom is crucial. Personally, I've thought about helping my family and playing sports. I believe it’s vital to have goals that motivate us to get up each day.
Instead of seeing "retirement" as an end, we could view it as a new beginning. Isn’t it exciting to think about all the possibilities that await us? Ultimately, what we really want is the freedom to create our own lives, filled with purpose and passion.
Thanks again for opening up this space for conversation. 💗

Great. I am the founder of the ~alter_native territory. We try to have discussions in there that are more about sharing personal perspectives. This is a great place to learn. Stacker is a lot of technical talk which I am not huge on but there is also a lot of great stuff here if you look around. What do you like to share about?
