Interesting being asked this question. It’s been nearly 4 years since I took voluntary retirement from my government job. I practice dermatology for only 1 hour a day, 5 days a week. This is more because of choice than any other factor. I have been enjoying my full time investing career immensely. And as you mentioned, financial freedom is an extremely important factor to consider before jumping full time into investing. For me, that was achieved well before I retired from my job.
Regarding things in investing that I can do now as compared to earlier , these things remain the same. The investment style has not changed much. I still remain very selective in the companies I invest in or track. But time wise, I can do stock research at the time of my choosing, and when I am in the zone, the productivity is much more. And clarity that emerges when you do things at the most opportune times is also good.
The more important difference I feel in my life has been in the quality of life. Not having any timelines to reach job site, not having to answer to anyone is a great feeling. And doing things you want to do without having to worry about other commitments is fun.
