I can sympathize (empathize really) with the OP’s problem; not all obligations cease with FI, and some can really drag you down, not necessarily to boredom but to a lack of motivation. Obligations are a psychic form of debt.
Another difficulty is that we’re conditioned to believe that money (getting and spending) can buy a life, when what it actually provides is more and more powerful distractions, similar to the illusion of endless employment. There is a natural and necessary letdown, even a dark night of the soul, when it becomes inescapably clear that having money, even FI money, really won’t give you a life worth having. Even a casual observation of those with plenty of money bears this out.
As usual, @Maus offers a thoughtful and insightful perspective. One thing I would add is that although complete rebellion may not be desirable or even possible, as to the followers of Spartacus, revolt was hardly the only path to crucifixion; apparently it wasn’t even necessary to do anything wrong to end up that way. And what about the slaves who didn’t revolt, did they die more pleasantly? If they did, is that what we’re after? And if it is, then Seneca’s preference for suicide as a good ending is understandable, it being the most reliable method for controlling the circumstances of one’s exit, though off-limits for many, including me
