20 years for me. Currently my idea is to open up a kiosk. Because I assume money won't be enough...

I just took a week off and was so wildly productive at home, so I assume it would be the same if I could ever voluntarily retire. Haul wheelbarrows of mulch, tend to the garden, make bread and tepache, take care of the animals. Clean up the house. Like a stay at home mom who didn't have to take care of kids, would just manage the house and yard.
In reality it is probably only disability that would force me into retirement though. So I'm not sure.
I just made a batch of tepache. My first time. Delicious!
I used to bake sourdough quite a lot, but then I developed a wheat allergy. Before the allergy I thought quite a bit about switching careers and baking for a living.
If you like fermenting, I highly recommend ginger beer from ginger bug. You need organic ginger for the bug (I think the non organic must be irradiated or something, ginger alone I find the conventionally grown won't ferment.) Once the starter is established you can use it to ferment any juice.
I have a ginger bug going. I made naturally carobanted "cola" using it. Def would love to try making ginger beer!
Probably sleep late, then spend some quiet afternoons digging through the wreckage for a can of something that doesn't seem too radioactive. Maybe get into painting or something.
Get some fucking peace and quiet.
Like many others here, travel. I would also like to get into gardening and become a better cook.
Go back to college. But this time to stay
That would be pretty neat to do. What would you want to study?
A lot of things. Psychology. Physics, maybe try for more engineering degrees, humanities, creative writing, whatever feels right.
Make progress on the this is something I want to do list. I'm making progress now but interesting projects build up faster than time to do them. My current list should last about 3000 years...
I don't want to think I "look forward" to retirement. The concept of retirement sounds like the one of the most anti-voluntaryist things I can think of. As my parents might say, give the money toward debt or something.
