27, stopped "working" a couple of years ago. (Some form of lean FI/RE right now: my current hobbies support my lifestyle, and I have sufficient savings). Life is simple, and I'm content, at least for the time-being. I know I could contract whenever I need to: something very flexible has fallen into place which I expect will start in the next couple of weeks.
Today so far: Mostly fundraising for an Olympiad (get in touch!), half an hour of open source work. Cutting weight for the next ~7 weeks, so aiming for 2 hours exercise/day. Weather isn't great, so did a few sets in my home gym, and spent the remainder of my time on Beat Saber (VR).
As for plans for later:
I haven't done enough Open Source today, I should do some testing and get a PR in. Might shelve it for tomorrow.
I'm working on a bilingual textual corpus for my local language with a few friends (colleagues?) (it's an uncommon revived language, and it's a reasonable goal to digitize every known work/manuscript which is out of copyright).
I'm prepping a .djvu of a book to upload to Wikisource for safekeeping. I've got a small backlog of texts that need a bit of proofreading which I'd like to clear. Long-term plans might involve getting the book republished (for fun, rather than for profit).
Afterwards? It's Friday night, probably off to the pub with friends for a pint.
I've chosen flexibility instead of money. I can meet friends whenever they're free. I'm living a purposeful life, and I'm truly content. Financially: it's a lifestyle hit, but that's an acceptable tradeoff for all the above, and I expect the income will continue to increase.
