Even when you're FI, I guess if a j*b isn't stressful and unbearable, one could ask their self: If I wasn't doing this boring j*b, would I be doing something more interesting and fulfilling with my time? If not, you might as well keep w*rking and making the bucks (and perhaps the bennies) until you can answer "yes".
