The way I look at it, every day That I went to work was one day closer to my death where I would rather have been doing something else. I feel bad for people whose life is their work.

So agree with you, I have a friend/former coworker, she is age 73, and she still works full-time. She has put her health at risk (she is diabetic and unfortunately is battling cancer) because she "has to be at work; the work is piling up." I told my friend that if she meets her maker tomorrow, her employer will either hire someone else to do her job or give her duties to another person(s) at her office. Every employee is replaceable, and in the 21st century very few employers value long-term, loyal employees...I speak from personal experience on this.
