I guess I could see it if you can start a business or do something hobby-wise....I know people that go part-time or even just do a second career in a kind of reduced capacity with more flexible time as a kind of early retirement. I do like that idea.
Sounds like you two have had a great time.
Yes, we were blessed.
Early retirement isn't for everyone,but it suited us, and boredom? Have never found time to be bored.)
