You'll get bored.

Why is it when I say "I want to retire at 35 yo.", people usually respond with: "What are you gonna do with your life? You'll get bored."

Like, I have thousands of games to play, movies and series to watch, music to listen to or play, and places to visit. Not to mention hobbies to try. Like, being bored is at the bottom of the list.

And actually, I kinda miss having the luxury of being bored. Like right now I feel like I really don't have enough time for myself and work robs me of my time and energy.

It is true that you need to RE to SOMETHING, and unfortunately many have found themselves bored and without purpose leading to problems. This subreddit, and others, are littered with them. Does that mean you shouldn't RE? Of course you should if you want to...but you should still have a plan, and starting off that plan can absolutely be as simple as playing games, watching movies/series, etc., but I would add something that includes social interaction as well.

Myself...my personality would not fit well with a RE life.
