To be honest, I think there is so much more to life than money. It is definitely needed and of course I am working to earn more money and let my money work to earn more money.
When I started with investing, I did look at the expected return and count it as days I don't need to work again if I had invest a specific amount of money. Of course this changes over time.
But time is often more valuable, than money. And I don't like the thought of working until I can retire - not if this point is in 10 or 30 years. The time spent with my loved ones is precious right now. And I want to have and enjoy as much as I can right now. Even if this means, that I have to work longer - but I am already having some quality time in higher quantities, than I would, when I would work 24/7.

Thanks for this great post and the thoughts!

Cheers,
