It recently happened to a friend of mine who had been working 60 hours a week for forty years and had been craving for 'freedom' for the last twenty years. I asked him: 'What will you do now you have all this money you saved up for your retirement and all the freedom and time in the world?' 'Don't know, really. Haven't given it much thought, to be honest. Just thought I'd be happy with a lot of money and freedom. But now I just miss working.'
