I retired* at age 34, just over six months ago, and I'm looking for new hobbies to fill up all this free time. Your forum looks nice and wholesome - I look forward to becoming a regular here.

*as in lean-FIRE, as in living frugally, but not working ever again.

I'm a Russian-American-Canadian - after living in a lot of different cities, I finally moved to Quebec City, and I love it here... Not only dirt-cheap rent ($595 CAD or $472 USD for rent+utilities+Internet ) but also amazing scenery, fun people, and a chance to learn French!

In my previous life, I worked as an analyst, investigator, manual labourer, strategist, card-counter, minister, interpreter, bookseller, rescuer, writer, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyhow, happy to be part of this merry crew, and off to explore the rest of the forum. Cheers!
