As someone who plans to stop working for income in the next 5 to 10 years, I've put some thought into it.
1) Volunteer. This is the only thing in my list that I know I will do for certain. I don't want to become a sloth, and doing so would seem like a crime against humanity when I have so much to offer. I genuinely like helping people. It's also a great way to meet interesting people. While it's not really a reason, I also find that I'm more of a producer than a consumer.
2) Travel. Nothing too extravagant. I'll still be watching my penny bank so I don't cause myself to have to go back to work for an income.
3) Backpacking. It's important to me to be able to connect with nature sometimes.
4) Write two novels that I already have ideas for.
5) Write essays on the human condition.
- mercer 13y agoThat sounds like a great combination. I've found that volunteering and traveling are wonderful in themselves, but also 'unlock' the ability to write and produce things I want to produce, rather than sit around and do nothing (and eventually feel bad about it). I'll be embarking for something similar, but for about a year. I wish you all the best, and would love to hear what you have to say about humanity.
