FIRE to what?

I always wanted to FIRE so I can rest and spend time with my hubby. But before I achieved it, he passed away.

Two years after his death, I achieved what I always wanted but it was bittersweet. 

I quit my cushy job and tang ping 3 months before I got too restless again. Yes, I have time but nobody to do the things with. I did some on my own but not alot.

I read blogs of people accumulating 1mil then 2mil then aiming 3mil. To what ends, if it comes at not much more effort, I would applaud that but if it comes from putting off more years of enjoyment then I wouldnt do that. Cos life is short, alot of things are out of our control. 

As I reflect on myself, what I have now, a part time job, almost paid off hdb, healthy body, and a 580k portfoilio that gives me some dividends, I am grateful. There is nothing more to aim for. Though I still hanker for some home appliances that could better my life or some clothings/bags (nothing designer), I dont have something. Maybe this is what 平常心 means, when there is no wants or needs.
