It's not work if you enjoy what you do.

I've already been where you are, but you have yet to be where I am.

Yes....liking what you do is the ticket. Makes all the difference in the world when one is considering retirement. I wish I would have liked my job cause i would still be doing it. But the job I had just plain ol S@#$ED, so I had to get out as soon as i could afford to. I was lucky enough to be able to do that......
