I am in this spot. I can't do corporate life anymore, and am if not financially free completely, free enough. So many people in the "FIRE" movement are like this, not really retired just not actively contributing to retirement accounts or climbing a corporate ladder, building freedom into their working lives. It should have been like this all along, that work was woven into life, not the whole of it.
"Work woven into life" sounds lyrical. Yes, we have failed to teach what's important...because we've been gaslit by marketeers. I love the notion of creating a portfolio second act....doing a few things that speak to you...maybe one for health benefits, one for passion etc.
Good for you that you that you are being flexible.

I love this. "Semiretirement" can look like you want it to look, and it can have a big financial impact.
Isn’t it crazy how many preconceived notions we have about it? We need a new word.
Very well said, as always! And yes, I know who I am!
