Is it inevitable (regardless of age) that once the FI bucket is full, the BS bucket WILL overflow?
My current plan is to RE before 45 but I don't know how I can hold out for what seems like such a long time. For reference, I'm a 38 year old specialist solo-practictioner and early this year I've made some changes in reducing my work hours from 32 to 28 hrs and made sure I have a full hour lunch break everyday. I already work an enviable 4 days work week but I feel guilty considering a further reduction to 3 days/week in the near future. I'm not burned out in any way but I seemed to have lost my career mojo which I partially attribute to this FI/BS bucket analogy.
I've been an overachiever for much of my life, now I aspire to underachieve and be lazy? What gives??
