Early retirement since 2015, so whatever I want, whenever I want  Prior to retirement, last 30 years with a French oil and gas company which made my early retirement possible. I spent the last ten+ years prior to retirement as a member of the international management team.

Just changed jobs. Start Jan 2. Moving to RI and work in New Bedford Mass. Technical Field Service Manager over the US for HTP boilers. Hanging up the wrenches after almost 30 years and moving into an office job just consulting and troubleshooting and teaching call center and techs how to better run the customer service end of things. It’s a big change. I’m moving out about 6 months ahead of my wife. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

I don't have a main job yet. I'm a student for now. I'm studying astronomy. I really like it. Reading articles (like this about Ceres, the dwarf planet, https://solarstory.net/planets/ceres), books, watching stars with a telescope of course. But my current side job is testing and a bit coding. I don't do a lot but still.

Both the wife and I are retired. She was a Registered Nurse who headed a Cardiovascular Surgery unit for her last 45 years of work. I was in property management for years and also managed to restore 400+ vehicles on the side over the last 50 years. 25 were Porsches.

I'm 68 and retired. Whew, never thought I'd make it! When I was in grade school back in the early 60's, 2019 was unimagineable. Heck the 90's seemed like the far far future.
I would still be working, driving seasonal trucks for harvest in Washington State. But my Diabetes really blew up about 4 years ago and I lost my CDL 'cause I couldn't pass the DOT physical anymore. I didn't love driving, but did enjoy the extra money and the opportunity to get away from the Tucson heat for 3 months.
I like being retired. My Medicare Advantage coverage is better than I've ever had. It's what I hoped Obamacare would be for the rest of you. I live a "manana" existence. If I don't do it today, there's always tomorrow. I admit I'm slowing down, I usually nap in the morning. Love my projects tho.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Porsche Friends!
