I am the "brewer type" (piling it up as fast as I can so I check out as soon as possible. My subtype: piler that still enjoys life). I have a financial goal in mind (accumulating financial assets worth 25x current living expenses) and the day Quicken tells me I'm there, I will bid farewell to the working world and call myself retired!
Ditto here. I'd rather work 8 more years and enjoy life outside work than work 7 more years and worry about every penny I spend. That last year will be rough though...
