I don't think I will have time to miss work, but understand your concern
From what i understand, there are two types of retirees .. 1) Those who wind up missing work, lack purpose and wind up returning to the workforce, starting a business et al… and 2) Those who love retirement and are so busy that they have no idea how they ever found time to hold down a fulltime job……. I know beyond the shadow of any doubt, even though im mid 40s and years from retirement- that i will be in group two.. i would suggest finding hobbies and interests so that when you are able to stop grinding for the Man, you will actually have other things you enjoy doing .

That's the key right there.
Stay productive and engaged. I retired for good at 44 and my wife still works, I'm pushing 50 now.
I'm pushing 50 now and I can tell you that you have to have productive work to keep you busy because all of my friends (and my wife) still work. If I didn't have my farm, my animals and fishing to keep me occupied for 40 hours a week, it would be much harder.
Like yesterday--I had a great time on my John Deere tractor and listening to music, smoking a joint and cutting hay. To some that might be horrible, but man I love it. Or tinkering in my shop at 11 am smoking a bowl listening to music while cleaning my boat.
It also helps if you have a good hearted woman. My wife doesn't expect me to cook, clean, go to the store or any of that bullshite. Hell, I'd rather have a job than go to shopping.
