My wife and I are working toward our fire number, and hope to be there in a few years. We both plan to continue working, but in different fields. I support power plants, so get phone calls all weekend after working the entire week. Traveling to support my customers doesn’t really count as work time.
An airline schedule as a pilot where I walk off the plane and can forget about work sounds great. I would even look forward to reading books while on reserve. I’m not wired to sit on the couch for the rest of my life, but would like more freedom to pursue other interests.
