I understand this. I can stop working today if I want to. then what? sit at home do nothing. A week is fine but after that becomes restless.

I like working.  there are so many different issues every day. different countries different problems. but at home. suddenly zero...

The whole FI/RE movement isn't for the school of thought that likes working.
I'm a believer in FI, not so much RE.

The RE isn't for everyone. Some want it, but those of us that enjoy our work, not so much.

You sir, have hit the nail on the head!

I started following the movement when I was early on in my career.
Now I'm commenting after a fair bit of progression where I would just be bored if I RE.

Its still on my radar, but not my primary goal anymore.
