I've never tried to work less tbf; I'm 31 years old and if I was given more free time, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm not the hipster adventurous type, traveling somewhere exotic doesn't appeal to me (I'd be more afraid of getting robbed and scammed), I'm not very social, etc. I prefer my 9-5 life so far. Just bought a house too.

Obviously spend your life however you like, I just want to put it out there that it sounds like you don't like to put yourself outside of your comfort zone (like pretty much everyone, even the hipsters).

There is nothing 'hipster' about doing something outside of your normal routine, like travelling or yoga. I'd recommend you try it more often, you'd be pleasantly surprised at what sort of things (good and bad) will happen.

I recently went on a trip, and when the plane landed my first thought was that I wished I stayed home. Good and bad things happened on this trip, but boy am I glad I did it.

While I am sure it comes from a good place, I wonder why there is a prescription being given when he states he is happy the way he has it and has no interest in living any other way? Coulent he be genuinely happy with his life and in no need of change?

I am 31 too! :D And although I like travelling I haven't done much of it in the past year because guess what, I am getting a house too. But I am getting it built which prevents me from moving until its completed. So, I did the layout, interiors, etc. I enjoy it!

Working on an automation system for the house using ESP8266 behind every socket and learning Elixir, React Native, etc. along the way.

I also get to work on Self-Driving Cars, Hydroponics and other stuff I like.

This would not have been possible if I was stuck at a 9-5. I work remotely and independently.

Tim did Tango and Vagabonding because maybe thats what made him happy. Being a te(/a)cky guy I am doing all things geeky to make me happy. :)

wait until you have kids...they fill up a lot of your time (if you don't outsource the job to nanny, etc)
