Thanks, 1sle!

If I’ve learned anything from the forty or so years I spent working ‘full time’ it is that work isn’t worth giving up life. Obviously it is easy to say that from my lucky position having made it to retirement with enough savings to, well, retire. Lots of folks can’t do that, and worse yet there are plenty of people now forced to work very long hours and multiple jobs just to keep food on the table. I wish that were not true.

But once a person gets beyond those basics, should luck shine upon them, working more and more just to be ‘successful’ seems (to me) to be based on a false definition of success. And I believe that even more now after a year as a retiree!
