I saw this comment on this sub unrelated to me "Not to mention, I doubt anyone here knows of anyone who saved 7 figures in their 20's and then never made another penny. Realistically you're going to continue to make at least a little money via interesting jobs or passion projects."
It shifted my perspective - despite a bad economy, I think out of boredom I will end up working and still do volunteer. I do still have alot of hobbies but I can still do them after work. I dont fear too much about losing my job afterwards. I don't have any kids, so your perspective might be different with kids, Curious about what people's thoughts are here after achieving coastFIRE?
