How much of a week do you enjoy?
Pretty much all of it. My husband and I figured out long ago that working a 9-5 wasn't for us. We're not slaving our lives away to pay an outrageous mortgage, car notes and bills.
So we went for the simple life in the country and we live our life doing what we want. I don't expect my husband to kill himself working to buy stupid materialistic sh**. I want my husband to be happy and to live life his way.
My husband earns a living working as he pleases, working cattle, making hay, hunting gators, whatever he wants. Our house and land is paid off and we have no debt. If he wants to go hunting, he hops on his 4 wheeler and heads for the woods. If he doesn't want to work for a week, that's up to him.
The thing is that to many people put off the things they want to do and then end up dying without ever doing those things (like my late fiance). My husband is going to enjoy his life and I do my dangdest to support whatever chooses to do.

What about retirement? Are you or he independently wealthy?
I mean, my wife and I plan on not working a day after we turn 60 and are putting away quite a bit, but we do owe on our house. We choose to spend our money on experiences rather than materialistic things for ourselves, but we know we need to have a good bit to retire when we want.
You can't live paycheck to paycheck and expect to support yourself until you die.
