I've always said, if you love what you do, then don't retire. Some people love their work. Great! More power to you. You're lucky.
I liked solving puzzles in my work. I liked learning new things. But I love not having to show up every day, I love being able to travel for 6 weeks at a time (not possible when I was working...not enough vacation), and I love being able to do nothing if I feel like it.
I've enjoyed my work. It's solving puzzles also. I've been self-employed for 26 years, home-office based for 18, not on anyone's clock. I did used to travel a lot, though, and liked it much of the time. I grew out of that. I want to travel for me now.
It's definitely beyond time to slow the work down. Youngest goes off to college this summer.
