re: How Much Of Your Life Is Living?

My husband earns a living working as he pleases, working cattle, making hay, hunting gators, whatever he wants. Our house and land is paid off and we have no debt. If he wants to go hunting, he hops on his 4 wheeler and heads for the woods. If he doesn't want to work for a week, that's up to him.
The thing is that to many people put off the things they want to do and then end up dying without ever doing those things (like my late fiance). My husband is going to enjoy his life and I do my dangdest to support whatever chooses to do.
What about retirement? Are you or he independently wealthy?
I mean, my wife and I plan on not working a day after we turn 60 and are putting away quite a bit, but we do owe on our house. We choose to spend our money on experiences rather than materialistic things for ourselves, but we know we need to have a good bit to retire when we want.
You can't live paycheck to paycheck and expect to support yourself until you die.

We have a good bit of acreage which provides income (cattle, hay, pecans). We are not independently wealthy, just smart with our money. We basically already live as if we are retired so it is not like retirement means anything different (except getting social security if it still exists).
My husband will continue to do his cattle and hay and such for the rest of his life because that is what he likes to do. He is not the type to sit around and do nothing. He would not be happy staying indoors all day.
We are not living paycheck to paycheck. We are comfortable and secure. We have put a lot of thought and work into creating the life we have together.
