Cool, and I'm glad it worked out well for you, Will
I was semi-retired at 45 (and still am), which was possible as I can work from home and still earn enough from my picture framing business, which I'd been running full-time up until then, by cherry-picking profitable/worthwhile jobs, such as hotel contracts, to keep the wolves from the door, but not be burdened by the demands of a full-time job, whilst funds also come in from the properties we rent out, and Del's salary as an English lecturer.
It means I can do my bit, whilst also having time to look after the house, feed the cats, do all the cleaning and any other jobs required, maintain the garden, help run the forum/answer numerous emails and PMs in the process, and have a nice cup of tea and/or something to eat, ready for Del coming home (to a nice warm, clean house)!
It's an arrangement that suits both of us, as the bills get paid and we have a decent standard of living, plus still time to enjoy each other's company
I wouldn't swap that for any amount of extra income, which meant longer working hours and us seeing less of each other, likely increasing our respective stress levels and reducing our overall well-being.
Marco.
