Some of us retire, which can happen at any age. Perhaps you can use your skills and relative financial comfort to, say, work for non profits and others needing web development but unable to pay big bucks. This might let you do what you like in service of better causes than data collection. Or, you can try to specialize in something niche, something that does not attract the madding crowds. Chemical or physical simulation might be examples of this. This would let you make something in a tool sense. In the past, you might have had to move for work but WFM has changed things. So, think about the things you would like to do or things that should be done and figure out how you can do them. You could always go back to taking money from the Man.
