I have gone through the long slog of hard corporate work for many years and I know it well enough. I am now living life, no loan, good passive income and plenty of time to pursue my interests.

Article in today's Straits Times exactly indicates my view. The article says that people who retire early become clinically depressed, their health fails and they die early. The article also says that the study shows that initially they get a lift from early retirement, which is probably what you are feeling now, but eventually it leads to clinical depression. As I said, you haven't done this long enough to know the boredom and depression, which will eventually come. Luckily I got back to work.

I think it is best to semi-retire, working part-time so that the mind does not degenerate but not so hard that work becomes a chore, mebbe like 10 to 20 hrs a week. Then, we can have free time to pursue interests and to relax too...
