Bored in retirement? I work with a guy who bags groceries for a living and his investment income is $200k a year
Briefly

Retirement often leads to boredom, especially for those who struggle to shift from saving to spending their nest egg. While some retirees may consider returning to a high-stress job, many find fulfillment in part-time roles, such as the Barista FIRE movement. This includes working at cafés not for the paycheck alone, but for the social interaction it provides. By taking on less intense jobs, retirees can engage with others while enjoying their retirement without financial pressure, making their retirement experience more enjoyable overall.
"The good news is there's a cure for boredom in (early) retirement and it doesn't need to entail returning to your previous high-stress, high-paying job."
"For many who've embraced the Barista FIRE movement, it's more about the social aspect that may have been lost sitting around all day at one's home."
