 Doing what you want, when you want and not having to debase your time having to show up at any given fiat mine at X o clock because you need the money! 
 i aspire to the same but its not really retirement to free yourself to fulfil your actual purpose in life though is it 
 People's purpose in life, differs wildly, from person to person. There is a huge percentile of people who will probably never be able to afford to retire. Another decent size chunk, will not be able to do so till there "Official" retirement age, rapidly heading towards 70. 

Not having to work, early retirement, is a goal for many, me included, so the earlier I can do that, the better. I'd much rather be travelling the world and seeing the bits I've not already managed to. If I get bored, I might start a little business, who knows. It's all about having that freedom of choice. 
 i hope you get to do just that ♥️ 
 Thanks man, you too, if that's what you desire, or at least, be in a position to, if that's what you want🤝🏻.  
 thank you! there is no final state. its a constantly evolving thing but for now i am fortunate to be able to do exactly what i want. 🫶 
 I suppose retirement means different to the individual. In my case, it is to no longer have an obligation to make a living and still live a purposeful and fulfilled life on my time. Nothing else is renting my life for the purpose of making a living.  
 amen 🙏 i feel the word retirement does a disservice to living freely though. semantics i guess! 💜 
 I think you're right about the word retirement, because it kind of means you don't do anything, as you no longer "Work for a living", if I do "Retire" next year, if anybody asks me what I do, I'll just say I'm an "Asset Manager". Which would also be kind of true😬.  
 and i think bitcoin is about to do the heavy lifting for us!! 🏋
