Once your needs are met, there's no shame in doing something you enjoy. It's all a matter of setting priorities. But DENYING yourself the opportunity to do something you enjoy, once your [and your family's] needs are met, simply because you think you'll have plenty of time, money, and health when you retire is a gamble. My dad didn't live long enough to retire. He was going to build a "pullin' tractor" [most likely stock or near-stock] when he retired, and then go have some fun.

One of the old timers that would sit with Dad and chew the fat about the 'good ole days' was Joe Capalco. Joe wasn't like most of my Dad's friends. He rarely worked that we knew of. Always had plenty of time
