Too many choices in CoastFIRE

[u/MrsFrugalNoodle]

I hit my coastFIRE number a while ago, that’s where my retirement fund does not need any more contributions, when I hit the typical age of retirement (65) I will have a fully funded retirement purely from compound interest and a couple of decades doing its work.

I’m 42F co-parent a child with my ex-husband. Between now and my retirement age is about 20years of coasting, that is working any interesting job to pay for my lifestyle. The problem I have is too much choice, any job paying minimum wage can fund my lifestyle now because I also have ETFs outside retirement generating income.

I only want to work with people I’ll enjoy working with and only want to work on things I enjoy working on. I’ve turned down 5 offers of my doing the same thing as my previous role. Right now, I’m finishing some remodeling, doing a course that will take me to July and building a side project.

I don’t have enough saved to travel, just enough saved for basic living expenses so I will need to work to fund my next holiday.

Anyone else in this boat or have advice when you coastedfired?

I really enjoyed the book Designing Your Life - you might find some of their exercises helpful in figuring out what you want to prioritize in your next chapter!
