2) In some ways I don't get the "financially independent" life. Sure, you're no longer absolutely needing to have a job. But what do you do with the rest of you

2) In some ways I don't get the "financially independent" life. Sure, you're no longer absolutely needing to have a job. But what do you do with the rest of your life? You're just retired at 50? With what to challenge / strive for?
FI has never meant "go live on the beach and sip beer", I mean it can for some but the majority of folks I talk to have interests or career aspirations that are not economically viable.
For example, volunteering full time at a non-profit, writing a book, community organizing, etc. all this takes time and can be difficult to do when you have a full-time FANG job.
