I don't see retirement as anything worth to chase. My basic believe is that you should be able to enjoy your work, learn something new and do all possible to balance your work and life style. If you work only for the money than you should stop and try to do something else, even if it would cut your income. It's no shame to have regular income and many times you will have more free time and less stress than people who always work for big buck of money.
