I agree with everything you said. I retired at 54. Not as young as you, but still young. I sold my big house and about 2/3 of my possessions, and moved to FL. l lease a very small condo and drive a 12 year old car. I've never been happier. I never set an alarm. I spend my days reading, swimming in the community pool and going to the beach. I too took a bunch of trips the first couple of years but have kind of gotten that out of my system and now am taking one or two trips a year. I live in a place people save up all year to vacation. I'm about to turn 61 and I have no regrets. That feeling of freedom you mentioned is just so awesome. I feel so blessed and sometimes have to pinch myself because I can't believe I'm living such a great life.

I agree with some other comment here, now that you have been on your own for some time now, you really do come across as much more relaxed. I'm retired too, stopped working at 53, almost 60 now, and so grateful to not be stuck in 9 to 5 work the last 6.5 years, especially after being in such a negative situation I had at my last 9 to 5 job.

So many good points in this video. At my pest control job, it was so dirty, I got sick from it somehow. I started throwing up and having diarrhea. I couldn’t even work. I hinted to my boss I wanted to quit and he came to my house and picked up my work truck and there were people waiting to replace me immediately. Internal work over vacation is an awesome point too. I would rather clean up my stuff and sell stuff instead of outwardly seeking happiness through vacation also. Never ending to do list outside of work was very relatable too. You can never do things for yourself even after you worked for someone else. It sucks bad!

Today we work 3 days per week and have a completely different lifestyle. So much more rewarding...life is more enjoyable...more fulfilling. The type of work we do does allow us to just leave within a few days of deciding to get out of town for a few day or longer if wanted. One week we just randomly decided to fly to las vegas...this was a tuesday evening...by Thursday morning we were on our way. So we do still work to earn money, but have greatly reduced our consumption.

I turn my head and hold my breath, keep hands off my face and wash when I get home... No longer being to busy earning a living to make any money.

Time went by faster than expected- planned getting a job after a year but the money coming in made them forget. You become in your own little bubble world and forget the real world going on. This can have serious later problems. Also, made him depressed more looking at friends facebook after 5 years (he was not checking for few years) to see all social and active fun people were having 'living' with their family and kids etc. What made it worst was looking at linkedin and seeing achievements people made in 5 years like been director at Morgan Stanley. Getting their PhD or MD or some leading role at a top venture capital company and all achievements they made. This actually caused him to see a shrink. Serious affects when you see progress others have made while you let time just run by.

I realize that this is the way to go for me. I've done a lot of mistakes over the last years, having gambling problems and building up a decent amount of debt because of it. My spendings apart from that have always been pretty low as I'm not craving any new technology/clothes/expensiv food/... This is my goal, to be financially free.

Lactic acid from working out heals you in some respects. If you can bare working out when sick it’s worth a shot.

It has worked out pretty well for me so far... Pun intented🎭

I retired early ---toughest part for me was the less social interaction w/ peers since most of the time older folks are the only ones retired and socially active during the day when I'm able to do stuff....as a veteran of Afganistan and in health care, I worked 24/7/365 and felt I worked a lot longer than my peers who didn't enter the military as a career....now I'm benefiting from that work.

That sounds rough. How is it 24/7? You can be sleeping and get called on?

I hope you get compensated for wait time? Maybe not at 100% rate but I think a fraction of that is reasonable.

I really think if you got a cat your life would be much more fullfilling with a greater purpose.

It isn't until you have enough money to pay your expenses for the rest of your life that you finally get to see how you would live your life without a job getting in the way. Once you get to this point, you're free, free to spend your time however you choose. It's so nice to be on your own time and at your own pace. You feel so much less stress because you have "enough". You actually get to explore hobbies and other types of work that bring you happiness and are more fulfilling.

It's debatable at which financial status you can actually pursue these things that you enjoy rather than just a job to make money. I think once you feel financially secure enough, that your savings is large enough to not work for many years, then I think that is the minimal point at which you can start thinking about making less on things you enjoy.
