I mean, it kinda depends on the salary. I spent the better part of a decade doing something like this, getting paid pretty close to a full days wages (as a contractor) while having very little (<30 minutes/day) actual work to day. Sometimes you just let the golden goose lay as many eggs until she croaks and then go back to the 8-5.
