My friends, you just preempted the topic of one of my next parts, which is learning to determine whether you're doing something because you need to, or whether you're doing it because you want to. I think problem solving is a great retirement activity if you do it because you love it, not because you need the reward and acknowledgement and validation that comes with it. You sound like a person who genuinely enjoys problem solving, and that's what retirement's all about. We get to cherry pick the things that we loved in our careers and only do them and chuck all the other stuff that we hated. I also am a problem solver. I love solving big, complicated, urgent problems before they happen. There's an acronym. I think it's NICU, and those are the types of problems that I love to solve. So good on you. You figured it out. You cracked the code. Keep it up.
