This is sort of how my thinking has evolved, too. In something like ten years, I should be FI. But the youngest will be 12 years old and starting 7th grade. We will probably stay in the area due to family on both sides living here. I wouldn't mind too much if I did a little low stress part time work here and there to make some pocket change. With family nearby, we could potentially drop the kids off at grandma's house and pop off to Paris or Las Vegas for the week(end).
