You have no interests you would pursue if you were free to spend your time as you wish? I enjoy my work, but there’s a dozen interests I can think of, off-hand, that I would happily enjoy before ever going back to work, given the option.

I like hotrodding cars, but not full time. I take a break from programming to work on my cars now and then.

Fair enough. I have lots of interests, and develop new ones all the time. I’d love to commit more time to my extended family. I have artist and athletic goals I’d spend more time on. I’d probably also go back to school and also do some community work. Programming is challenging and always provides a means of growth, so I could understand not wanting to walk away from it, if you have a way of avoiding burnout.

I haven't burned out from it for 45 years, so doubt that's much of a risk :-)
