Doc is 55, I’m 46; a few years ago, I told our financial planner my goal is to be able to go part-time in 10 years so when he retires/also goes part time, we can go have adventures.
I currently have about a part-time job’s worth of freelance and he has random weekdays off, so I’ve been dragging him up canyons and trying out my future plan. Spoiler: I love it so much. If I didn’t have to actually earn enough money in the present to make that future plan happen, I might never go back to full-time again.
