    That’s my current situation after retiring a few years ago. I stay busy with personal software projects, running a weekly in-person D&D campaign and playing in others, cooking, 3d design and printing, Arduino/ESP and electronics, woodworking, reading, TV & movies, and random crafting and other stuff that comes up.

    Gardening, fishing, skiing, hunting, making furniture, building boats, long road trips with the family.

    Basically typical retirement shit.

    Write, read and analyze literature. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it as a job.

    Become a blacksmith. I’d make all sorts of things.

    And a welder. And a tool and die man.

    I’d work with metal. And at some point I’d make a point to learn glass blowing because it’s cool.

    Continue to work for extra shit probably. Sure basic needs are met, but I don’t think basic needs count for computer parts, drones, supplies for home improvements. My life would be easier on bills but would still need funds for projects and hobbies.

    Short answer: work less.

    Long answer: I actually enjoy my job, and have for a long time. If I had won several million long ago I would have kept my job because it (most of the time) was very fulfilling and important, though it has largely wrecked my body.

    Now I can’t fly anymore, so while my job is still important and fulfilling, it’s not nearly as exciting, and I am constantly crazy busy, so I’d love to cut my hours about in half, probably. I’d still want to work.

    Oh, and I’d build a forge in my backyard. So maybe work the same amount, but some of my time crafting things.

    Work out, do DIY at home, volunteer at my local cat shelter and dedicate more time to making music, gaming and general computer fiddlin’. If it was literally just basic needs with no cash maybe host some services for people on a small scale or teach about self hosting for money to afford luxuries.
