I went down to three days a week four years ago and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. At first, I planned on working on an existing business but I decided not to do that and started making YouTube videos because I wanted something else to do on my days off. That was fun at first but got monotonous fast. I volunteered for a political campaign for a year, and now now I am working on another business that I am really excited about. For me, I definitely have to have something productive to do or I get bored. I own a home with no debt and am pretty frugal so I could probably "retire" now, but will probably keep working until my new business starts making money. Once that happens, I'll probably shift over to working entirely for myself. I don't think I'll stop "working", whether it's something that makes money or not. The beauty is that since I've been pushing towards financial independence, I'll always have plenty of "extra" cash that I can use for whatever I want. If I do decide to retire, I'll probably keep my development skills active so I'll always be able to find work if need be.
