I certainly agree. And throughout my life I have ALWAYS tried to "beat the system" as much as I could. Short of winning a lottery there is not much I can do, but I have put personal enjoyments and things which really enrich life ahead of things like working too many hours. Life is not about working your time away, but at the same time we need income to live. It's a real Catch 22. I know people who'll work 8 days a week, 25 hours a day, if they could.

I'll by 51 this year too (like you, Python) and I do think I manage to balance work and play out fairly well.
