We are all very focused in generating wealth all the time. So much so that we frequently forget about enjoying it. I was talking to a friend of mine who is close to 60 and he told me this.
There are 3 parameters - Time, Health and Money
There is a period from ages 55 to about 70 when you are most likely to have all three - time, money and health. That is the time to spend on enjoyable pursuits like traveling, relaxing and other hobbies if possible and not chained to one's desk.
Now not everyone can do this and this triangle period is longer or shorter for each person.
Just thought I'd share this way of looking at things. As I near this period, I hope to use it in the best way possible rather than just by working in a corporate job.
Any thoughts on this or any other ways of thinking about it?

- When you are young, you have time and health but no money.
- When you are middle aged, you have money and health but no time.
- When you are old, you have time and money but no health.
