1. My dear Bertha!

Oh, absolutely!

When you enjoy what you do, it's no longer work. I did enjoy mine, until I realized that I was giving my employer the BEST hours of the day, during the BEST years of my life.

I started to resent all that. So when they offered an early retirement, and I found I was eligible, I LEFT.

I hope you love your work!

:hug:

2. However, how often are you doing what you most want to do?

I'm lucky if I want to do my job and like it - however, I would rather be independently wealthy anyway and do this as a hobby if I even choose to.
