On and off I have had thoughts about voluntarily reducing my employment from full time to part time. I have child support obligations through the end of 2024 but could probably consider reducing my hours in early 2025. Cutting back hours would allow me to spend a lot more time at my cabin property. I would lose my ability to accrue any more vacation (PTO) time. It would also require significant spending restrictions.
A big benefit of spending time at the cabin property is that I usually don't spend a lot of money on firearm stuff like I do when I am home. That could help offset the increased fuel expenses that I would incur traveling back and forth. Ideally I would like to cut my hours back from 40hrs to 24hrs a week. This would give me a lot more four night wknds to visit the property.
Has anybody else done this before retirement? Did you regret it?
