That's basically my plan, and to work on hobbies. Try not to get burned out by the next CRUD app startup I work for, learn some language that interests me, and live my life. It's nice, as a contractor, being able to take off a week randomly and not really feel hit by the lost income because I've refocused my life to downsizing expenses and upsizing enjoyment. Keep up with enough stack-mania to keep an income until I can call it quits for good.
