I admit this isn't for everyone, but having multiple sources of income really helps smooth over bumps. Especially if that income is 1099, where there is no withholding (and you have slightly more control over when the taxes are paid).

I’m at a point in my life where I’d like to be semi retired. I’ve got hobbies with social implications and I’d love to be spending 15+ hours a week on them instead of 5+. But my retirement is not quite big enough and I will need boosters to fight inflation. Also my family does not do well with retirement. If someone would pay 70 year old me for 20 hours a week I’ll probably do it.

    It means when old men in my family retire they tend to get themselves into trouble not having enough to do. My grandfather developed insomnia and started to have health problems from sitting in front of the TV all day. He ended up digging himself out of a depression cycle by building a garage and adding an enclosed porch onto the house. After that he started working part time at a hardware store in walking distance as the resident home improvement sage. People missed him on his day off, and it easily added 5 years onto his life.

Basically, you keep the lights on and ship 0-3 features per month. The pay can be as high as $130+/hr usd ($10k/mo). You'd be on your own for health insurance, but I probably would do this for my retirement.
