I knew I'd have to do something for wages to stay out of the port until I truly retire in a few years. I've worked fulltime at HD for a year now. That QUICKLY morphed into running a dept for not nearly enough pay for the stress. Going back to part-time in a couple weeks. I'll be happier.
I could very well see myself going a very similar route. Taking a few years off and then going back for a while, or simply going back for a short time gig once in a while. Life happens, plans change, never say never. It's all about the freedom and the peace of mind that comes with financial independence.
Part time is definitely a great option, I'm glad that you have the chance to do it and really glad that you're taking advantage of that possibility. It'll keep you busy and bring in some money while still leaving a lot of time to do whatever you feel like doing.
