The one thing I always point to when discussing this, is that every
morning I've got obligations to keep me motivated.

I'm thinking that many of the people who retire early all "think" that
they will find things to do, but instead .... find that .... since
they no longer have any obligation to do things,. they just gradually
do less and less. Having obligations to others keeps me active and
obviously I've got to keep up with what's going on technically too.
I've go to have all the answers if I'm going to be the expert. If one
doesn't have a purpose in life and obligations to fulfill .... even if
self imposed ...... what's the point of being here at all?  Without
purpose, you'll gradually become a burden to those around you. You
could do them all a favor by having a self portrait painted and then
just disappear.
