re: White Rock Got Rocked Doug, Thanks for the clarification - I agree that the amount of money in your investment account does not equal happiness, however - depending on your expectations [key word] once you reach a level of economic security, you can then pursue other "work" that may be more rewarding to you personally. I believe one choses happiness as a journey, not a destination....

As you pointed out, some folks with multiple millions in the bank still feel driven to make more. This to me, is a deeper issue...

At any rate, enjoy each day, as there is no promise of tomorrow for any of us.

What's the deeper issue? Choosing work over a life of leisure?

re: White Rock Got Rocked RJM,

There are certainly some who advocate a hatred of achievement, but that is not what some of us are talking about. Someone who continues to make more money because they are driven to achievment is may have no issues at all.

Someone who expects that some amount of money is going to bring some missing equilibrium to their life is almost certain to be disappointed. It seems that such a person, upon achieving one level that they thought was "it", stays unhappy and sets a new target that they think will do the trick.

Most of the former would do just fine with whatever amount they have because they are comfortable in the pursuit of achievement. At least some of the latter are looking for some amount of money to quench their need for achievement.

I have never liked the American idea of "retirement", e.g. ceasing work or achievement of any type to relax all day. (not to say that this is the only view of retirement)

re: White Rock Got Rocked Shaggy,

I thought that harly owners only spent money on upgrades to get acceptably loud pipes, not HP :)

Seriously, I was speaking more about chrome vs plastic on Harleys. It seems that almost all metric cruiser enthusiasts spend some money trying to squeeze out a few extra HP as well.

Subject: banana all gone

I came back from break room with a box of chocolate. All banana magically disappeared within couple of minutes.

The purpose of fruit snack is to keep employee from starving, someone apparently use it as lunch substitute. I would suggest we should cut the fruit into small pieces so more people can eat health snack. And If I spot he or she taking more than his or her fair share of fruit, I will ask he or she to replace me run the Whiterock lake marathon.
