Oh my, so well put!
I was going to comment, but that sums it up so nicely.

So, there's the thing about early retirement: separate the "work" from the money. Jacob (not me, the guy who wrote the book and started the site whose real name is Jacob (for me its a screen name)) is helping people learn to be financially independent.
Once you reach that stage, what you do with your time is entirely up to you.

Vacations, hobbies, or continuing to work.

I just can't see the downside
