I want enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life and the freedom to do whatever I want with my time. I continue to work because I'm not confident that what I have saved will be enough. At some point, "better" has really diminishing returns and your future won't be significantly different if you had retired a few years earlier. Those same years could be your first as a grandparent or something else that is worth more than money.
Time > money

Well said, by coincidence I recently had a similar episode with my wife! Where we exposed the following. More money requires more work and more time consumed, but in most cases more money really does not solve the root of the problem, so we choose to take a slower path, earning less but enjoying the freedom of being able to attend a school event for our daughter, soccer practice during the week, soccer games during the weekend, some organized outing, among others and mainly without having to be accountable, or ask permission from any employer to use my time. Having discovered Bitcoin in my life, and understanding it better every day, is what fills me with the most strength and hope, knowing that now I can save energy and purchasing power to keep my family safe in the future feels pretty good to me. Assuming that for the 20 years before I found and understood Bitcoin, I was just playing the FIAT game, a rigged game to keep us trapped in the rat race, just like a donkey chasing a carrot 🥕 that is tied to its back and cannot reach it when walking.
