I see myself working as long as I am able. 2-3 days a week 4-5 hours at a time just to keep a routine and have more socialization. I think the limited socialization that some people face is very detrimental to one's overall well being.

I'm in my 30's. 
And while it would be very plausible for me to go back to work at some point, I really don't think I will.
It's definitely necessary to do something productive, but for me it's very important that this "productive" is something that I want to do, and that I can do it when I feel like doing it. 

Now I work maybe 1-2h/day (~5 days a week), just simple stuff... clicking away on the laptop while drinking coffee and reading the morning news. Or maybe in the afternoon I'm having a beer on the balcony and feel like working for an hour. Important point: this work is 100% on my own terms. No boss, no deadlines, no time requirements, no stress. And then I probably spent another couple of hours per day studying. I do need to add some more physical exercise into my routines, and if I start to get bored then I'll looking into some sort of smaller projects to do on the side. (maybe start a small company??)
