No point working all the time to accumulate all you can only to die early from a heart attack.
Working for someone else means you can go home and not think about work until tomorrow. And you can read a book and develop hobbies, learn to play an instrument, tend a garden and look after a pet.
I do not envy you. I have had to work very hard in the evenings to get out of sticky situations, and despite the romantic view of working for yourself, I like to go home and forget the day.
That's the interesting thing. I made more money than I've ever made last year while working fewer hours than I ever had. Things are going well for all intents and purposes, but building a house and having a kid or two is scary on many levels. Being responsible for yourself is pretty easy. Being responsible for a spouse adds a little bit to it. Being responsible for a kid on top of that (and having the spouse quit working to take care of it) adds significantly more.

Take some time off.
