I would love hearing more about what people in their mid-forties are thinking and doing with part-time retirement. Read ESR Bob's book which was great.
My wife and are both 45 and our plan is to continue employed work until 55 as at that point we qualify for a tuition benefit for the kids and retiree medical in our separate employers.
Given that the kids are 4 & 9 it feels unrealistic to expect complete early retirement until 55 ; however we are definitely experimenting with more aggressive part-time scenarios in the next 10 years that preserves the option to keep the 2 key benefits.
I like the idea of always doing some work but just doing it a lot less (e.g., 20 hours or less). Less about an income stream but more to just contribute (could be volunteering too). Yet finding good role models where people are doing highly meaningful work part time has been difficult to find.
