I can certainly respect why you do it; based on your description you enjoy it more than other things.

This is a red flag to me. If this were me, I wouldn't know what to do because I'd be in constant stress mode thinking about work 24/7 (by the sounds of it). Our body adapts to how it's used and I don't think that taking a few days off to travel = vacation when the whole time you're thinking about your 4 jobs. I wouldn't enjoy being somewhere else when I'm stressing about work either.

I wouldn't want to retire. You're right, I'll probably never stop working.

It sounds like you're quite successful and I assume you have some money saved up as you don't spend any on vacations, socializing, etc. What stops you from doing this now?

Pardon more judgement, but this is another red flag. To me you don't like these things because they interfere with work. We're social and physical animals, and it's been said in this thread already - no one regrets not working more.
