i've been thinking about what id like to do if i was to one day give it all up and decide to retire/semi retire within the next ten years.

yes i do plan on retiring or semi retiring by the age of 40. i may stretch it to 45. but for me, id rather enjoy the rest of the ride instead of working my butt off till the end. so ive decided that 50 is too old to retire.

so basically this leaves me between 10 and 15 years to achieve my goals. it would mean that id retire when my kids are still in school and i can dedicate my time for them. ive always liked the idea of a stay at home dad, but i loathe the idea of sitting idle at home and doing nothing. theres only so much cleaning and cooking that you can do.

some days i want to just sell sea shells on the sea shore to gullible tourists. othertimes i just want to consult part time, other times, i want nothing to do with construction. sometimes i wake up and wish i could just do what i like doing most, travelling. though this won't work out if theres kids around with the whole idea of quality time with them.

just wanted to see other members' ideas on what they'd like to do and why they'd like to retire. if you have retired or about to retire, how old were you, why and what do you do now to fill the void?

my worst nightmare would be twiddling my thumbs watching TV as the clock ticked by
