But we are self employed, we are down to 3 1/2 days a week. Plus about 6 weeks off to travel etc.
I walk and bike ride a lot, I am not a fan of house projects, or wood working or any of that sort of thing. I would much rather work and pay others to do that stuff.
I already get bored at times, with that light schedule, which is why I say. I think retirement for me and the DW would be a poor choice on our part.
Just wondering if anyone else felt the same way?
If your 3.5 days/wk is not interfering with other things you want to do, then keep on working it.
I can't imagine not having enough hobbies and activities to keep myself occupied.
It sounds like you don't have very many interests other than your work. You should consider volunteering for a cause you are interested in, or finding some hobby that you enjoy. It doesn't have to be something "typical." Think about something you've always wanted to learn or do. And go do it!
Does your wife have the same problem? If not, maybe you could pick up more of the chores, so she has time to pursue her interests. My guess is she doesn't want you sitting around being bored either.
