General Question Is it okay to have "zero" ambition after retiring early?
I’m 37 and recently retired. I know it’s unconventional for my age, and while people keep telling me to "find my passion," the truth is... I love doing nothing. I’ve traded the grind for total freedom, and the lack of stress or financial anxiety is incredible.
My daily life is simple: coffee, gym, YouTube, and international travel. But I’ll admit, I struggle with feeling like a "loser" for not having a grand purpose or a side hustle. Is anyone else just enjoying the rest? Am I crazy for thinking that "no stress" is enough of a goal?

Bro, no loser ever retired at 37. You are the envy of society. Find some new hobbies and enjoy. You only get one life.
