working 3 days a week for 3.5 years means you will work for 546 days until retirement (3 days a week x 52 weeks x 3.5 years). If you work 5 days a week and can retire in 2.5 years, you will work 650 days (5 days a week x 52 weeks x 2.5 years). It doesn't sound like an even trade-off to me. Since you are enjoying your current lifestyle and apparently do not need the extra income that working full time would give you, I would stay part time.
