I don't love my job, I tolerate my job, it's easy and pays well but I have no real attachment to it. I'm not sure how realistic this whole "love what you do" business is but so far in life I've not worked a single job that I'd want to continue doing as I near my eventual expiration. I want to retire! Why? Because the things I love doing don't pay well or won't pay me at all.
Retirement for me would be getting up every morning and reading the paper (whether that be at home or on vacation) and drinking a long cup of coffee over breakfast.
Then I'd go for a swim or run followed by the gym and lunch. On a different day I'd likely go play shinny.
On vacation or not at home would likely be a similar routine but mixing in surfing instead of swimming if possible.
Id also like to read a lot.
Talk to me in 20 years and maybe I'll feel different. But given no children now and likely some in the future I think 20 years older me will by more tired and wanting a break from work even more by that time.
I'd probably travel and do more races / sporting events.
