My "plan" was to retire at 52 join the peace Corp.. and eventually work my way to a place where the Money I had in investments provided me the ability to do whatever .. wherever..... I wanted... I have no children.. no baggage...
I realized long ago money nether motivates me or makes me happy... Security.. it very important.. (i have an irrational fear of being destitute).

Sounds like my wife's job. The past 2 weeks have been murder. 40 hours in 2.5 days last week. Worked all weekend this past weekend. She works for a company that handles financial transactions for banks. (the largest in the world as well) At this moment, the house phone, her cell phone, and blackberry all have calls on them. (it is 8:00 at night) Perhaps you guys work for the same company? PM me for more details if you wish.... Anyway, she asked me the same question Sunday night. She wanted to know if I would sell my business, move to someplace warmer and get a laid back job with no stress and just live life. We have money in the bank, no debt (house is paid for) but we have 2 kids, 13 and 10. College money is saved. I told her it was damn tempting. The drama is, I love work, I love my business and I love not having to worry about spending money on stupid stuff. But as I was freezing my ass off driving home tonight, it is very tempting to just say f*^K it and bail.....
