Or do you not intend to? Or have you already? Retirement is coming up for me in a few years, so I'm considering my options.

I kind of enjoyed being a tutor in college so maybe go back and be a staff-level instructor (lower level courses). If it wasn't actual work (for pay) probably I'd focus on contributing to open source projects I thought would really help people.

I considered this, but I actually kind of want to get away from teaching what I currently do for a living.

Probably sleep late, then spend some quiet afternoons digging through the wreckage for a can of something that doesn't seem too radioactive. Maybe get into painting or something.

Make progress on the this is something I want to do list. I'm making progress now but interesting projects build up faster than time to do them. My current list should last about 3000 years...

Get some fucking peace and quiet.

Go back to college. But this time to stay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That would be pretty neat to do. What would you want to study?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

A lot of things. Psychology. Physics, maybe try for more engineering degrees, humanities, creative writing, whatever feels right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Like many others here, travel. I would also like to get into gardening and become a better cook.

I don't want to think I "look forward" to retirement. The concept of retirement sounds like the one of the most anti-voluntaryist things I can think of. As my parents might say, give the money toward debt or something.
