I think, on balance, at the end of your life it's not going to matter how big your collection of stuff is, whether you have wrinkles, that you don't weigh as little as you did in high school, that you don't eat as many fresh veggies as you should, that you watch more tv than you think you should, that your boss is insane, that people have been mean to you, what kind of car you drive, what house you live in, who cut you off on the freeway. I think what matters is that you are good and loving to the people who are important: your family, your spouse, your children, your close friends. A job is a way to pay for life, I think Dangergirl says it all here. Without my Children, there would be no reason to work and without my Children, I would have no life, but it took almost losing my oldest daughter to realize that. I left my career of 18 years, work from the home and have never been happier. (funny thing, because of the happy thing I make twice what I did before)
