There is a time to work, but, also a time to retire. To keep grinding on, when clearly the goal has been accomplished, would seem pointless. Knowing when to get off the treadmill is the key. Running out of health may be a greater risk then running out of wealth. Retirement can be a time to enjoy all of life, losing yourself in the flow... be nobody, with nothing to prove, and less need for gain, you can now relax more, and stress less. In our working years, we are totally consumed with thinking and doing, we are somebody......, in a never ending pursuit of achieving, planning, building, maintaining, and accumulating; forever striving, and never fully arriving. Can it be true that ..."more is less and less is more"???. For me retirement will be a time to simplify, simplify, simplify, and live in the moment as much as possible.
"Now" is really all we have , future is only in our imagination and the past is just memories of what was.
