I not yet reach stage FI/RE, but I think if can I will just continue to work. Right now factor in weekend, public holiday, annual leave the total free activity days per annum are about 140++ days, for me the number is quite good enough.

Other than that, during working days nite time also can spend few hours on something that I preferred, isnt that bad to keep working unless I am hating my own job.

Like bro Garysydney mentioned on travel too frequent, keep doing the same thing whole year 365 days probably is too boring. What make it worst is when you are the only one retired early but your friend are all still working, last time you only need to find your friend once in a while but now your everyday is weekend you must have activity to keep the life moving but hardly got people free like you to entertain you.

Worst come to worst retired early just make yourself contribute to the statistic of retire early die early.

If fi, time and money is not a restriction, one could spend weeks if not months in tuscany, catalonia, provence, hokkaido, victoria, florida, cruise, etc, bottle of champagne for breakfast, bottle of white for lunch, bottle of pink for pre dinner, bottle of red for dinner, whisky for nigh cap, and travel on biz class will never get tire of travelling.

If you think about it, when you are working for others, no matter how high ranking you are, you are just running other people's "errands".

When you FI/RE, every little task you do is for yourself or family or people you would like to help. In short, you determine how you spend your time.

Which "objective in life" is more meaningful?

It's just so wrong to equate work with objective in life. If you FI, you have the choice to RE. If you find that life is without objective if you RE, then by all means continue to go to work. It's your choice! I know I wouldn't! Ha ha.. just rambling again...

Already FIRE you have plenty of choice. You are basically free to go about your own life as how you see fit.

Go fishing,  do tai chi every morning, go jungle hiking every week,  no issue.

Bear in mind if only you urself is FIRE, only you have the spare time not most of ur fren. If u have nearly no fren then that is pretty fine.

If ur hobby cant do it alone then probably very fast u will get bored with lack of activity. Only minority of people able to handle the luxury of everyday is weekend. If u are minority then that is pretty fine again.

Some of my female colleague during the 2nd month of maternity leave already dead boring at home, although come back to work full time is not what they want too. lol
