A great question, with no real definitive answer(s), given that everyone's situation is different and none of us know how long we will live a 'quality' life. We've all heard of the person who passes away shortly after retiring, which is offset by those who could easily retire, but don't because they feel their life is defined by their work and career. While we are fortunate that finances aren't an issue, I still tended to fall in the latter category. Lo and behold, even after being retired a couple of years now, my old company didn't fold without me - the jerks. lol Now, even before moving to TV, I can't imagine how I even had enough time to work previously.
