You'll never find them on HN and Reddit but there are tons of people in their 40s-60s who despite working 40hr/wk for the last 20yr have all manner of projects and hobbies they would simply spend their time on if they suddenly didn't have to work, no change of mind required.

The risk is that previously those things were "special" because you could only spend a little bit of time on them. If you spend all your time then the enjoyment can become 'commoditized' and routine. They may become as fun as brushing your teeth.

Has this happened to you?
