Carpe Diem!

I have a similar example. A friend recently retired. Was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma a few months later, then spent two months at City of Hope until he died.

Exactly why I retired earlier with less. I'd rather have a reduced budget lifestyle and more years to enjoy with my wife and grandkids without stress.

Nobody on their deathbed looks back and says..."I'm sure glad I had that *****en house, trendy watch, and drove a luxury car, but most look back and say...I wished I spent more time with family and friends and less time trying so hard to make money.
