What would you do with your time if you retired in your 40s?

I would make so many goddamn knives.

Quadruple my current volunteering time.

I’d work anyway, but only commit to half time. I enjoy my work but it can be over demanding at times

Probably volunteer and then maybe pickup some hobbies or something.

I would still work, probably for a non profit. Actually. Come to think of it that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I would absolutely not work, contrary to other people. I have an extremely inquisitive mind. I like learning how things work and why they work how they do. I can, and will, spend every second looking up anything that interests me and exploring my many hobbies. I’d also probably begin to take my own health more seriously if I had time to think about that.

Seems like everyone is answering, effectively, “live my life.” That should tell you how fucked up our current social structure has become.

In addition to spending more time on my hobbies, I’d be advocating for a better way to live our lives. 40 hours of soulless slavery per week is way to much considering all the increases in production and speed achieved over the years.

Hobbies all the time. Computer games, camping, painting minis, tabletop gaming, gardening (veggies and stuff), repairing old stuff, play music, read, and all the other stuff that I currently hsve to rotate through because there isn’t enough time to do all of them at the same time.

Might even do volunteer work with kids since my social limit wouldn’t be drsined by work.

I’d probably do what I already do in my spare time: enjoys my hobbies, keep learning, do some volunteering and keep myself in shape. I’d just be able to dedicate more time.

Aside from the obvious hobbies, I might clear space at home and get into mushroom farming.

id go 100% hobbit;

grow everything… trees are awesome pickup a nice pipeweed habit

Retiring by 40 would need a lot of money, because it would need to support at least 25-30 years of relatively expensive leisure time. Lots of travel, a fair number of home improvement projects, and at least one project car.

Video games and community volunteer work.

Sleep.

Educate the younger generations about how they’re getting screwed and how people solved these problems in the past.
