I know this feeling. I am 47 and in probably close to the best shape of my life, which in my case is actually saying something as I've always been athletic. My dad was the same way, able to beat me in a running race well into his 50s. Then when he was 65 he found out he had a prolapsed mitral valve. He had heart surgery and was never the same. Today my wife and I found out that she has skin cancer. It's relatively benign but still requires surgery in the very near future. Like practically everyone else who has commented, I feel like I've spent way too much time working. I don't resent it - I make a lot of money and I have dependents - but there is always opportunity cost. All it takes is one phone call with some bad news and everything has changed. |

I'm genuinely curious why you feel this way. What would you rather do?
