I am retiring in the fall

[Monoriu]

I can't think of any paid work that I can do after my retirement.  It would be ideal if I can find a part-time job or something that I can do as a hobby and get paid in the process, even if the pay isn't much.  That is perhaps too much to ask and I can't really think of anything.

The idea is too not have to do anything. So maybe buying an already successfull restaurant?

The day Mono is forced to retire is the day he blows his brains out.

What do you do Ed, since you can get away with early retirement/outdelegating? Do you own part of the company? Or win in Lotto?

I'd love to be able to set a lower work hour- I don't mind working, but I'd love not to be obligated to do it when migraines and attacks hit me like they did yesterday and today

My job was in SCM, then quit that after winning a Pyrrhic victory in a power struggle in a company I won't name. Then I opened up a consulting bidness, while the wife opened up an accounting bidness. In the same office.

The one thing that helped was the large check written to me after my leg was broke. It allowed me the capital to do other things.

An already successful restaurant for sale is usually (a) over-valued, or (b) a scam.  I can also see that small business ownership demands even more time from me, although I may drum up enough incentive to do it.

That's why I propose something that already makes money. You change nothing, except raking in the profits.

Must have been some check and some consulting gig for you to retire at mid 30s I figure you want to live in the same style for at least another 40-50 years?

If Chef Ramsay's show is any indication, buying even a successful restaurant is far from a sure bet.

When 3 year olds stick the dagger in, it makes you think.

Did you say: Et tu, Brute?

If this rather poor joke has been made, I apologise.

Anyway, retiring? I can understand working less, but retiring? Man, your lawn will look awesome.

[Caliga]

He'll get bored and "un-retire" pretty quickly.  In the words of the immortal Yoo-stain Wil-sohn, "I garon-TEE".

[Habbaku]

I don't see how someone with a decent amount of hobbies could get bored of retirement.  I'd just wargame and read the rest of my life.

As someone who spent a year doing nothing, I guarantee you even hobbies don't seem so interesting when time is almost infinite. Scarcity is what makes us appreciate something.

As someone who has never been able to spend a year doing nothing, I guarantee you that I wouldn't lose interest.
