I'm at coastFIRE now (some call it semi-retirement) and am between 3-7 years away from being able to do full retirement (age 53-57) as long as Trump doesn't completely tank the stock market. Even in "full" retirement I'll probably keep the little business I'm building going but I just won't put as much effort into it (I work about 2-3 days a week now) - hopefully by then it's an easy 1 day a week job that brings in the pocket change that pays for my hobbies. I have a 50 year old pal who clears $500k/yr in tech and his dream is to retire to Saltspring and have a part-time job doing baggage handling for Harbour Air. Like him, I'd be happy to have some PT gig like that (Costco?) too.
Beyond that I see golf, travel, and cooking as my primary hobbies in retirement - my kid turns 7 in a few weeks so if I retire early enough I'm still going to get to be a dad for quite a while too.
I cannot wait to stop working entirely - I'm so much happier and healthier in semi-retirement and I'm fine with giving up the income I used to have. I miss some of the nicer things but the trade has been a super easy one to make.
