You would think that, but most people who retire early get really board in around 6-12 months.<p>Often your friends are working so they just don&#x27;t have a lot of time to have fun on week days.  TV is much worse in the middle of the day.  Sure, it seems like adding 40 hours a week of free time would not change much, but it often feels like 4x as much free time due to all the unnecessary activity&#x27;s around work that suck up time.<p>Finally, many things are fun while your tired at the end of the day &#x2F; week to unwind, but get boring when your wide awake and full of energy.
