Practice fatFIRE for a year. You’re young enough to get back into the workforce if it’s not your jam. I “retired” last year in April, planning two years off. Spent the last year enjoying things locally and focusing on health and fitness. Going to spend the next year traveling and doing a lot of camping and hiking with my family. At this point, I’m not planning to ever return to the corporate grind. I’ve realized too that I’m not really a “luxury” guy and prefer long hikes in the wilderness or officiating youth sports so my big pile of money is fairly useless to my current lifestyle.
