id go 100% hobbit;

grow everything.. trees are awesome pickup a nice pipeweed habit

Hobbies all the time. Computer games, camping, painting minis, tabletop gaming, gardening (veggies and stuff), repairing old stuff, play music, read, and all the other stuff that I currently hsve to rotate through because there isn't enough time to do all of them at the same time.

Might even do volunteer work with kids since my social limit wouldn't be drsined by work.

Video games and community volunteer work.

Seems like everyone is answering, effectively, "live my life." That should tell you how fucked up our current social structure has become.

In addition to spending more time on my hobbies, I'd be advocating for a better way to live our lives. 40 hours of soulless slavery per week is way to much considering all the increases in production and speed achieved over the years.

Educate the younger generations about how they're getting screwed and how people solved these problems in the past.

Play lots of games and music, keep my house cleaner, make food more regularly, and consider socializing more, maybe try to join a band. I would have so much more energy if I didn't have to spend it all reading records for work.

Aside from the obvious hobbies, I might clear space at home and get into mushroom farming.

I would absolutely not work, contrary to other people. I have an extremely inquisitive mind. I like learning how things work and why they work how they do. I can, and will, spend every second looking up anything that interests me and exploring my many hobbies. I'd also probably begin to take my own health more seriously if I had time to think about that.

Probably start a commune, make my privilege stretch as far as possible while building community resilience, learn to grow potatoes and stuff.

Travel, volunteering, video games, hobbies. I started cooking/baking more. I quit drinking.

I like to say every day is Saturday. When I took up 3D printing, I suddenly had no "free" time.

All that said, I just came out of retirement for a cool opportunity, and now I'm suffering withdrawal (from games and 3D printing).

I'd work anyway, but only commit to half time. I enjoy my work but it can be over demanding at times

I'd probably do what I already do in my spare time: enjoys my hobbies, keep learning, do some volunteering and keep myself in shape. I'd just be able to dedicate more time.

I'd start building a food sovereignty organization to make my community more resilient to trade wars, climate disaster, and political instability. I'd also start organizing to end homelessness.

Some less political things I'd do is start woodworking and organizing community sessions of Pathfinder

Retiring by 40 would need a lot of money, because it would need to support at least 25-30 years of relatively expensive leisure time. Lots of travel, a fair number of home improvement projects, and at least one project car.

Probably volunteer and then maybe pickup some hobbies or something.

I would basically live my life focused on what is important to me instead of having to weigh in the importance of how it will affect my job. Family events, fitness, meal prepping, hobbies, projects, health. I would have time to catch up on all that and stay on top of it. I would also sleep more.

Study everything. Find interesting ways of combining what I learn in disparate fields and share that with others.

make artisanal videogames and travel

Volunteer in my community, be a neighborhood nuisance trying to spark up conversation with Gen z in public, actively annoy my member of Parliament about issues I'm upset about, other stuff im sure.

I would make so many goddamn knives.

Sleep.

I am self-employed running my own business. Honestly other than about 4 weeks of harder work, I am basically on my own doing whatever I feel like.

When I retire, well I have an idea for another business. I would need to relocate someplace tropical and hire 2 or 3 people to work for me. I doubt it would ever make much money, but it would be fun.

Quadruple my current volunteering time.

I would still work, probably for a non profit. Actually. Come to think of it that's exactly what I'm doing.

I'd settle somewhere around pec pod snezkou ( Czech republic ) or similar places and maybe go academic route part consulting just to kill the boredom which would inevitably showed up

Improvise, mostly.

I have hobbies and stuff I'm trying to learn. I would pretty much do the same I do now but without the 8 hours I spend at work every day.

Getting a hobby is a must have. Sport would be good. Acquiring eccentric taste is also a storied favorite. You can go to a university and get a / another degree so that you can be mad (but accomplished) scientists in your 60s and 70s.

Making walking sticks, wood spoons, fishing, target bow and arrow, working on my 160 year old house. Maybe take Mortal (our tortoise) to schools and old folks homes.

Anything I Wanted to.
