Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We recently reached FI dance but I'm not quite ready to fully RE.
A couple of years ago, I left my megacorp and have been w@rking as a consultant. I have told my firm that my plan now is to w@rk part-time for the next 1 - 2 years.
I'm figuring that I'll put in 20-30 hours a week which should be enough for us to cover our expenses and postpone withdrawing any retirement funds. In that regard, I was presuming I'd take two weekdays off and w@rk a full day the other three.
Curiously, my daughter-in-law is telling me what a big mistake she thinks that would be. She is of the opinion that I should still w@rk 1/2 days Mon-Fri. She thinks if I'm off for four days, it'll be all that much harder to show up for the other three w@rk days.
I don't know what she bases this on, but I thought I would ask folks here.
All insights, thoughts or experiences welcome!
