You seem to have completely missed my point.

Let me try again.

It isn't that I don't want to or can't listen to "a few negative facts" - it is that I find you to be extremely boring to the point that I am simply not going to waste any more of my time reading your posts :)

I don't really understand the question actually:blink:



We work so we CAN live! There is no choice and I'm sure most of us are the same.

I enjoy my job but I don't let it rule my life for a few reasons. First I don't get paid enough for it to take over personal time and secondly I enjoy my time away from work with my husband.

I've got an entirely unrelated question - what happens to future help a poster may need after they behave in a moronic way in a thread?

Entirely hypothetical, of course...

My priorities and perspective have changed over time.

Until my mid to late 30's I didn't distinguish "work to live" and "live to work" - I needed to work to make enough money to live but I also enjoyed what I did so there was no conflict.

Now, at 56, I still need to "work to live" - after 35 years or so I don't particularly enjoy what I do any more, but I am still good at it and it pays well so the most practical thing for me to do right now is to stick with it until I feel that I have enough money stashed away to retire, which is probably still about another 5 years away ...

Of course I have ideas of other things that I would rather be doing, and some of them would actually produce some income, but they would not produce *enough* income for me to live on so I would end up having to spend some of my savings (which, as I said, are still not quite at the point that I would like them to be) and probably have to go on working much longer that I really want to.
