So I have been playing with this idea lately and I'm gonna lay it on you guys and see what you think: Basically, the idea is that instead of working 40+ hours per week for 45 years or so followed by (if you are lucky) 20 years of doing what you really wanted to do all along (if physicality, health and circumstances allow it) why not work part time your whole life and do a little bit of both all along? Work a bit, play a bit throughout instead of work work work then maybe play?

I proposed this to my (old school) Dad and he laughed at me. Dude always scoffs at alternative ideas though. What say you?
