won't you be bored?

Same question all the time when someone first find out I am retired (early).

And, it comes from not just adults who are still working, but also from younger ones who are still in school.

For the young ones, I will explain how long I had been working, and how hard I worked, and how hard I saved up (and invested), so I can retire early. It was never my plan to work as long as possible or up to a commonly known retirement age of 65. And I told them I am happy I achieved my goals and now I have freedom to pursue things that I couldn't due to my commitments to my previous jobs. I hope this inspires them to think for themselves and plan. 

For the adults, I just play along and have some jokes on how I spend my free time. But deep inside, I feel for them, as I can understand some who do not have such a choice at all, while some are so deeply brainwashed that I do not plan to unwind it for them since it will be a waste of time.
