The point to all of this (to me) is to A)Build up enough independent income such that you're largely immune from needing "a job", B)Have enough money such that you can provide some security for your family,C)Have enough money so that you can provide funds to things important to you (charity, church, etc),D)Have enough money so that you can enjoy things in life that genuinely make you happy.If you are all the way down to D, then I personally don't see what is wrong with it.
