Retire rich or retire early?

Personally, I'm single, no kids, no attachments. I've worked a pretty varied number of jobs, gotten some experiences that I cherish, some I would cheerfully get a lobotomy to forget, and had a lot of fun along the way. I can't see myself retiring early, because if there is one thing I hate doing, it's sitting around looking for things to do.

The current job I have, while not the greatest paying job, I really enjoy. My weekends are filled with days of me saying "well what can I do now?" or "I wonder who isn't busy and wants to go shoot a round, or smoke one". I would rather be at work even for just maybe 3-4 hours each day on the weekends rather than stay home and do nothing.

At some point, I will reach the point where I look at life and pick a simple job, with relaxed hours, doing something I really enjoy doing, it doesn't have to pay well, and I can coast in life into my sunset years.

Until those days? I've got to do something to keep busy.
