Good discussion. The idea is to have freedom of choice. If you want to keep working, keep working. If you don't like your job and want to do something else, then having the financial means to be able to make that decision is powerful. Most of us don't get the choice and have to work forever, often in jobs we don't like that much. But there is nothing wrong with doing what you want to do once you have the freedom to decide. Buffett is still working at 90, not sitting on a beach somewhere.
