The best is to be prepared financially. Be financially independent so you can quit your job any time. You can take your time to find another job you like or you can enjoy retirement with so many things you can do eg. learning to cook new dishes, trekking, camping, mountain climbing, learning astronomy, scuba diving, horse riding, exploring the world, etc.
