That depends a lot on the type of the world we live in at the time the robots take my job. Are their jobs available still that I can retrain for, or are we living in a post-work world where the Robots have taken all the jobs? If it’s the former I will hopefully be able to retrain for a new job or have accomplished plan A. If it’s the latter I’m not really sure. That world would look so much different than today’s world that I’m not sure I can predict what I would be doing. Hopefully, I would be doing some kind of creative work like playing music. I suspect that even when AI is capable of producing art and entertainment there will still be a desire to go watch other humans create.
Plan A is to save enough money that by the time my job is automated away I will be able to live off of my savings. That way I will have the freedom to retrain for a job that hasn't been automated away or to be able to work in a volunteer capacity or on some creative endeavor without expectation of financial return. I will probably always want to work in some capacity, so I don't see myself just retiring into leisure.
