Once You FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early), Then What?

It seems everyone wants to FIRE (Financial independence, retire early). But once you got the financial independence and you retire early… then what?

Simple ideas, at least for me —

  1. Focus on arts generation, philosophy, entrepreneurial ideas to motivate others, and photography.
  2. Focus on physical culture: physique, power building, bodybuilding, powerlifting, gym, or kettlebell home life.

But the big thought:

FIRE as a means to an end, not the end itself.
