Great essay. My role model for living well after achieving financial security is Anthony Bourdain. Despite how it ended, he lived well and he left a lot of breadcrumbs behind for a guy like me to follow. I think his ideas and this essay dovetail very nicely.
100%. Obviously he had demons and I don't glorify those but when people ask what kind of a career I'd like to have, he's a very good model of someone who said what he wanted to say and said it how he wanted to say it.
This is fabulous and true. Eat the pot pie. Drink the wine. Maybe walk a few more miles. :)
Seneca said it so well: "What matters most is whether one is extending one's life or merely delaying one's death."
nice distinction!
