Hell yeah, that sounds like the way to do it. I’m much the same way, being a decade younger and having a kid that will be 18 in a decade. If you are able, why not make your own home into your favorite place to be?
I don’t have mountains to look at but I built a koi pond in the back yard. There are a lot of birds in the trees out there, plus we have a bunch of other pets of our own. Just chilling and observing natural beauty and being in that moment can be so nice.
I did that and “retired” to a ski resort in my mid 20s and pursued snowboarding instead. I’ve worked a variety of odd jobs to feed the habit and I’m lucky to be talented enough to be flowed gear.
If working a corporate 40 hr a week job that requires a degree doesn’t pay enough for me to move out of my moms house in NY and get an apt of my own somewhere nearby then fuck it, I’ll take some nonsense jobs and move to where I want and leave the grind entirely. My life is their $20k vacation. I’ve had more powder days than those rats in the race.
There’s a pretty big difference between drinking mild poisons at a Nazi bar and a local bar. Zoomed out, sure, drinking alcohol at all can be considered pretty dubious, but the difference between the two scenarios remains.

Yeah! I like my fake validation and fake likes from anonymous friends over here on lemmy. Fake friends are overrated.
the secret is i don’t think anyone on lemmy is my friend. i find everyone here frustrating and annoying! the system works!
Damn,… Ruffalo looks young in this picture… then I realize, he was and we all got fucking old. This was 13 years ago!!!
…hey. Stop that.
Respect the rules! We all pretend 2005 was 4 years ago and 2014 was last year.
Bullshit! 1995 was 4 years ago. 2004 was last year.

Exactly my plan my friend! Why bother grinding if you can’t afford anything? Better grind less and live more.

Wait how do you have coworkers as a retired person?

Beats me, that does sound like a gray area. Colleagues?

You say that like Twitter isn’t also full of self-important asshats
