It's a very simple formula:
The more you make, the more you spend. When you can honestly tell yourself that you're happy with what you have, where you're at, and what you're doing, that's when it's enough. It doesn't have to be at some specific age and it doesn't necessarily mean you need to stop, but you don't have to beat yourself up over it every minute of the day anymore either. But until you reach that point... really reach that point and you're not simply saying it to hear yourself talk... that's when you can start living instead of existing.
Retirement is nothing more than an over used word to describe that point in life when we are *supposed* to have our shit together so we can sip umbrella drinks with complete disregard for the world around us, when in reality, it embodies all that we endlessly strive and struggle to attain in order to one-up the Jones'.
I choose not to live that way anymore. It sucks. And really, who fucking cares whos yacht has the most refrigerators on board.
Stop defining your life in dollar signs and enjoy some of it while you still can.
People are so hung up on shit it makes me shake my head in wonder.
