Sid,
Age 49 here. Married, 2 kids (teenagers), career – type job. Can retire in just over five years with reasonable financial security. But I’m at the same place as you. I don’t know what I want in life. I envy you saying you are enjoying each day. I’m not there yet. My idea at this point in life is to take nothing for granted. A good day is to be savoured and enjoyed. Goals are nice but it is often the simple things which really make us happy. Whatever you do, do it completely and thoroughly. Don’t be in a hurry to get to the next item on the list, or even to reach a goal. The pleasure is in striving to get there. Have goals that are small in number, but be sure they are yours. Not someone else’s expectations.
Enough philosophy. I’m just encouraged to hear someone say they feel good!Greg A.
