I also know people that will work as long as they can as they will never have enough. Not good What can I say, start early and go hard

That would be a tough call, don't think I could do this one not consistently

No, you have it wrong, shave it all off.... wear it, own it ;)

Apparently 80% of what people worry about never happens:)

Ditto, a gem HomePage:)

Yes I agree with you. I also know people that will never be happy because they continually seem to look at their life in a very negative way, "the glass half empty" mentality. My point to the post was really not what you want to achieve in life but more about personal fulfilment and...

MM is a great read, simple common sense approach.

If you are happy with this then that is great.
