    Never say never.

    Quote me on it later if you like.

    When your kids are hungry, you work or steal. I suspect you'll work.

    I think I'd be okay at stealing stuff.

    Then you go to jail and your kids go hungry. Without a father.

    Gotta get caught, which everyone knows is for suckers.

    Keep telling yourself that. I've worked with or around those idiots for forty years. None of them are as smart as they think they are.😀

      most people soon enough tire of their free time.

      People who aren't sufficiently creative will tire of their free time. Hubby and I don't have that problem. We can always think of multiple new projects, and we love being creative. Even if hubby would start to have trouble thinking of his next project, I can always help inspire him. LOL

              Nah, your kids will starve. You'll be in jail. Smoked bologna and beans appear on the menu at least twice on the 28-day Camp J rotation. Hard boiled eggs and oatmeal appear pretty often, too.

                No to coding, and partial with philosophy but it gets fairly obscure just as things get interesting. I see others here that could run circles around me.

                I am batting about 100% helping people with interviews and landing jobs. I could do that, be retired, and have a ton of fun.

                Thinking about it I only need to solve for about 5 hours a day to be happy being retired. I see that for many golf and bridge do that… just thinking about things that don’t involve manual or artistic labor. I thought about epicurean cooking but not that interesting.

                There has to be someone who knows how to solve for this. Most retirement books are about financial planning, one taking about living with finished expectations. Travel is another idea but it wouldn’t be persistent enough for me.

                      I was BURNING through books on my commute. Now I do other stuff with that time. All good.

                      My "commute" now is FAR longer than before, and I'll still do it here and there. Just not every dayr even close to it.
