Chuck, you are right...it is all about choices...choices we make every day. And it is also why it is more imperative that there is a balance between pleasure each work day (and work can be one's pleasure) instead of life being linear...first work, then play in retirement because retirement in the traditional sense may never come...by choice or not...because of financial constraints or health or something else.

I know people who still have the mindset of living a life on adrenaline...rushing from here to there on a quest for the holy grail...not understanding the peaks achieved mean less if the journey was not enjoyed. (And I don't presume to define what is enjoyment for others.)

So, it is an interesting quandry, the elusive work and life balancing act unique to each person....each one's working life the length of their own choosing...more so with solos and entrepreneurs.

And I must say that I am probably the luckiest daughter ever -- what great, wonderful, caring, loving parents I have. I am grateful. :)

Chuck, thanks for addressing an issue that I have been wrestling with. I find myself nearing 57 with a 17 year old college freshman and an 11 year old sixth grader, both of whom plan to be doctors. I've been in solo practice a little over two years now. Practicing into my 70s (and beyond?) is a reality that I'm trying to plan for better than I planned for the retirement that will likely never come. Any additional wisdom that you and other readers could share on this subject would be valuable to all of us.
