90% of the same things I already do, minus all the time lost from kids

- raise 3-4 kids
- further connect with future wife on shared hobbies
- golf - > break 70
- pickleball - > hit 5.0+
- run - > hit 3:00 marathon
- tennis - > 3.5 +
- woodworking
- photography create a scrapbook of my mom / friends
- spend more time with friends/family, most are retiring early as well


- go back to school to learn mando / canto / spanish at a higher level
- relearn violin / piano
- volunteer
- weightlift
- garden
- slow travel
- weekly / monthly concerts
- ski
- run / book clubs
- double track days
- vball

- turn day job into p/t remote gig
- turn contract work into p/t
- teach p/t at uni like my friends
- run my businesses as owner operated, if I don't sell

All this can change, every year the things you enjoy change so much after 20's/30's. Man I can write this list in 1 minute, idk why people say they are bored after retirement or without work.

All the business owners friends are pretty much semi-retired, but i agree, it's hard when they have day jobs, remote guys are also acting semi retired

I'm surprised you wouldn't start now, easier on the body while you're young
