It's not that I hate working, it's just that I'd rather do just about anything else. Wouldn't you too? Of course Financial Independence, Retire Early (#FIREmovement) is about #retiringearly. What's the point of working towards and having #financialindependence if you don't use it? I'm trying to embrace the feeling of being retired even though I'm technically not yet. I'm close financially, and working 10 to 15 hours a week on a passion project that earns income to help me get over the line. Once I get over the full FI line, I plan to remove pretty much all of the few remaining aspects of my "work" that I don't enjoy, and spend more time on new passion projects. I think it's silly to call it "work" at this point, even if it does earn money.
