Jace Mattinson, a millennial who retired at 32 after selling a lumber company, returned to work after eight months, realizing early retirement wasn't fulfilling. Using a 'life happiness index' to guide his decisions, he found more fulfillment in working, balancing work, family, and hobbies. Despite financial independence, he felt retirement was overrated, preferring a purpose-driven career. Mattinson's journey reflects a growing trend within the FIRE community of gravitating away from traditional retirement to pursue meaningful work after testing out early retirement.
