And after that, cramming as much board/card/video gaming into the remaining hours in the day as possible.

We'll probably do some travelling as well, but my wife doesn't like flying and isn't that into travelling either, so that might be a bit limited compared to most people's retirement plans. I did some travelling when I was younger, so my wanderlust also isn't that high anymore. There are a few places I want to see though. Something like Machu Pichu, or the West Coast Trail, which combines hiking with travel is probably in the cards.

I'm only a few months in, but honestly, I wonder how I ever maintained a job with so many hobbies!

hmmm someone bumped an old AB politics thread and i'm pretty sure this is why you retired early and not because of bitcoin and comics.

When I was in Junior High, me and a couple friends set up a money loaning business. We charged 10% interest per day. We taught the other kids a thing or two about financial management.

At least until the damn teachers shut us down.

I don't think my parents were even mad when they found out, haha.
