Do you think you'll realistically need to go back to work? Is the lack of social engagement becoming an issue? Genuine questions, not loaded.

I think I’d feel more comfortable spending if I built more cushion by working another 2-3 years. I have so much fear that I’ll run out of money despite my calculations showing I’m okay as is. I feel like the lack of social engagement is/will be an issue. All my family and friends are still working and I don’t always want to hang out every weekend either. I miss talking to my coworkers about things I know really well. Now that I think about it, maybe I’m missing intellectual stimulation…?

Have you looked into clubs, volunteering or something that otherwise might scratch both the intellectual and social itch?

Yes and yes, but recovering from a sports injury so am not able to be super active right now. Catching up on a lot of books and shows though! :)
