^ i see your point, and i think it has a lot of truth in it. I get the "wont you get bored" part, and i guess if you were to retire but most of your friends are still in their job. Who are you supposed to enjoy your time with then? But i guess if you have family/friends who are also free i think it would never be boring.

"No challenges, no daily commitments, no struggles, nothing to tell yourself "I worked hard, and this is my reward" or "all my hard work has paid off"."

well i would assume with your spare time you can always take things you couldn't before. Maybe learn to ride a motorcycle, learn to fly a plane, learn a new language. I'm sure there are so many new things which you could take on to challenge yourself and be committed too. Maybe go to the gym every morning when you wake up, or go for a daily morning jog. As for struggles..why would you wanna struggle? Correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think anyone would want that... And you and i both know you can have lots of rewards. Like i said in the beginning, learn new languages or new things in your life and your reward would be what you accomplished.

Iuno i can honestly say i would enjoy time with my family/friends/seeking new relations more then going to work to "challenge" myself. Imagine all the time you spent away from your parents as a kid, wouldn't you want to have it back? I heard on the radio couple weeks ago that a parent , only spends roughly 37 seconds, a day, of quality time with their kid. Man that would suck lol

But hey that's just one man's opinions and if you (i mean in general speaking to everyone) love your job more then your free time, do what makes you happy its your life
