No, I don't have a lot of money in my bank account and I need every paycheck. But I work from home, haven't seen my boss in almost two years, ride my motorcycle to my meetings, even those several hundred miles away, can wrench on my Porsche during the day if I feel like it and I even had to forfeit a few vacation days in 2009 because I couldn't use them up by the end of the year and had more than I could carry over. Yes, I work a lot more than four hours a week. But some folks wouldn't consider it work. I like what I do and I like it even more when things are busy. But I like taking naps in the afternoon and then heading to the gym, having no commute at all deal with ever. When I lived in VA, I had a soul-crushing commute into DC to look forward to even on my best days. Getting home in rush hour was a nightmare. Taking a nap in the afternoon was unthinkable. I couldn't leave the office without walking past my boss's office door. Yes, I was there for eight hours a day, but I accomplished a lot less than I do now in far less than eight hours per day.
Still, I need to check this book out.

That seems good, but I assume the long term plan is to work until you drop dead?
And, if that's the case, do you intend to drop dead early, and if not, what job do you see yourself in when you are 83 years old?
