Hugh, in Hindu thought, you are entering the fourth stage of life, moksha, where enlightenment is obtained. It's the time to look back on what you have done and what you have achieved and reflect on the wisdom gained. It is the payoff for all your hard work--the destination phase of life's journey.
Too many people get stuck in the previous, acquisitive stages and never reach enlightenment. They die worrying about money, as if it is some sort of measure of their worth as a human. I think that's why so many Americans are unhappy.
I've lost so many friends and family lately--to accidents, cancer, other diseases--that I worry about money far less than I worry about time.
