My husband and I live our lives very similar to what I bolded above. We both work hard and enjoy the benefits of our hard work. There's no guarantee that when you retire you will be healthy enough, alive long enough after, or even guaranteed tomorrow. We travel quite a bit and each time we do we look at each other & say how fortunate we are to experience the moments we do. We do save and if the bottom fell out tomorrow could live for quite a while on savings.
I don't know, there's more to life than the constant hamster wheel we run on. Life is meant to be experienced not worked away.

Great aspect. The hamster wheel is an invention that most people partake in without awareness. Even if we weren't told to live a particular way by peers or family, our potential mirror neurons are still engaged by societal displays.
