After 24 years of schooling, and working from age 15 until age 55, I was laid off in Dec 2020. That freed me up to take care of my ailing dad until he passed in Dec 2022. Since then, the wife and I have had a pool built and had the master bath totally remodeled. Now, I spend hours in the pool, reading and listening to music or podcasts. At least for now, I don't need a purpose to reach for. That may change, but for now we're happy doing things around the house, traveling, and basically doing whatever we want. Having almost zero obligations has been incredible.
