I spent 20 years of my life as a 12 hour/day, 6 days/week, self-employed person. Then, I got a bit burnt out on what my specialty was, and we were tired of living in the big city, so we sold the house, sold the business and moved to a quieter life.
So far, I'm finding that 40 hours/week is pretty much a snap. I enjoy the time just being able to sit on the porch and enjoy the quiet or tinker in the garage. The only catch is that I'm not making nearly as much as I did for myself. I do however, now have insurance that I'm not paying an arm and a leg for, and I have enough free time to do work on the side.
If I get the job I'm aiming for, I'll probably drop down to part time where I'm at and take the new job at the same time. It'll be a bitch working them both, but unfortunately we need the income badly. But, it won't be forever, so I'll just adjust my mindset to get through it.
