Time: Coding, taking walks, reading, hanging with friends

Friction: Not that I can see. My lifestyle hasn't changed.

Miss work: Nope. I keep in touch with the coworkers I liked to socialize with. I can do the best part of work -- making things -- without the worst part: meetings, perf reviews, political BS, etc.

If you are a creative person, it's the best. Become your own patron.

Note: People who are "doing FIRE right" spend less time online so you won't see their replies. I specifically made an effort to comment on this, if it helps motivate you to pursue it. Best thing I've done for myself.
