100% agreed, and that’s my current situation. BUT, early retirement aside, the job landscape can drastically change, and not always in your favor. Therefore I’m a fan of building a very strong financial base. If nothing else, it’s nice to know that work can be optional when times aren’t primo. Thanks again for the comment.

Depending on your location (for example, SLC, UT) there are many examples of weekend warriors climbing 5.13 and up. Selecting high demand jobs also is a ticket to earning flexibility down the road. For example, health care, software and engineers can often quit jobs, take a sabbatical and get rehired. Don’t forgot teaching with summers off. I just want to highlight and emphasize there are ways to have both if you plan for it.

You get to climb trees! It is a little different from rocks, but still a lot of fun! A trained arborist can find work in any decent sized city, so you can get the proximity to your routes etc. It is hard work and you may not make as much in a lot of other trades, but it is great being outside and dealing with physical and mental challenges! Life is all about the journey!
