J.D. Roth on Retirement Purpose

This post by J.D. Roth is pretty good.

     Beyond wealth: What happens AFTER you achieve financial independence?

I bookmarked this because I'll go back for a second and third look. The post shares a lot of affinities with how I have and how I will think about "financial independence." I do a lot of quant analysis here but that's more hobby than anything else. It's like a guy tinkering with a hog in the garage or a model railroad in the basement or astrophotography on weekends. The real issues in retirement often have more to do with meaning, purpose and identity than they do with optimal spend rates. The latter enables the former but the former gets you out of bed.
