It that way all over, I have notice that people have stopped spending money like they used too. I paint high end show cars and bikes and my work has slowed quite a bit but only enough to keep from having a huge back log of people waiting to get their cars done.
I quit a 6 digit a year job just so I could be at home and be with my kids and see them grow up and spend time with my family. I now work to live instead of live to work. But all of my work is from word of mouth and I never advertise and do it all from my garage in my backyard.
Yes it is nice to be able to do what I want when I want but if I did not have everything paid off including my home I would still be a slave to the grind.
