I know a guy who left retirement because he felt purposeless. The reason we likely hate work is because we have to do it.

If I knew I didn't have to worry about money, I would consider focusing on my tech career as it's something to do rather than worrying about how to keep a job. Maybe focus on charity maybe.

Definitely keep saving for retirement, last thing you need is to HAVE TO WORK for the rest of your life.

I'm with you. Aimless wandering through night and day, and consuming stuff to distract from the lack of direction in life is pleasing only to a certain point.

I’d do a different job every year just for fun and learn everything

Probably... I mean nothing stops you now. Assuming it's somewhat in the same field.
