I think it's important to have time off as well. So you can spend time with your friends and family. Or just go for a walk.

Nothing to do with dying of old age then?

Hey if you find the meaning of your life is working to pay taxes then go for it.

I'd rather have a nice balance between earning money to using it to have a nice life.

You said when you retire and your life has NO point, that implies it's the only one

In the French Alps, a lot of people work hard through the summer and then take the entire snow season off so they can ski and snowboard. We worked hard through the winter so we could take most of the summer off and go climbing. I love the French attitude to work.

This is making me genuinely sad for you LT.

I personally think that IF someone can make money doing what they enjoy, or making a difference in the world, then yes a career can be one of the most important things in life. However, it's not realistic for everyone to have that... so for those who simply have to work doing something they don't get enjoyment out of but need to do to pay the bills... then no, it should not be the major part of their life. It should be something that is required to support the parts of life that they DO enjoy, and they should spend as much time engaging in those other parts of life as possible. A means to an end, and nothing more.

I also feel genuinely sad for people who "don't know what to do with themselves" after they retire. What empty lives they must have had beforehand .

Hubby worked very long hours over the years due to shifts and people taking time off etc, but then he always made time for cycling and swimming as a way to wind down aswell as time out socialising.
Still does all the swimming and cycling now he has taken early retirement but he manages to fit more of it in, plus his yoga, to make sure he doesn't get bored I have allowed him to take over my job as housekeeper ( chief cook and bottle washer etc)

I'm all for working hard, but i think you also need some time off to recharge your batteries.
