I would not work in the traditional sense, but I would have projects. I'm so exhausted from work. When I get prolonged time off it takes me like four or five days to recover and actually feel like doing things. I might write. I'd like to try to get into woodworking. I would be a lot more social.

I honestly feel like my life would be more impactful and meaningful without needing to work for a living.

I do still work, as a trained professional people still want my services and we are busy. I still enjoy what i do and going to work.

Loving and caring for hurt animals

I still work. I did try not working but it wasn’t the healthiest for me.

Yes I would work if I didn’t have to, but it wouldn’t be self sustaining without $$ in the bank. I’d write books.

I'd only work on my garden or personal projects.

im semi retired now. only working about 28 hrs a week or so. i like to have a little extra money on me in case i want to take a trip to the mountains or the beach.

I’m very very lucky in as much as I don’t have to work anymore, but I still work in a hospital a couple of days a week because I like doing something for other people who aren’t very well.

Well, I'm long past needing to or being able to. I retired early, but not because I didn't enjoy the job. I loved the unpredictability, the intellectual challenges, the mentoring of others. But it was stressful and my wife said the stress was going to kill me. Actually, it turned out ideally. The organization kept hiring me as a consultant on specific projects. I had the right to refuse. I made as much working 20 hours a week as I did working 60 hours, and already had my benefits as a retiree.
