money is good but you don't want to devote your whole life to making it because you live only once and time is the most valuable thing. at some point you want to have a family, get a dog, play musical instruments, video games, go travel and so on. you don't want to be obsessed with your fast lane business forever. when, or at how much net worth or after dedicating how many years or at what age do you think one should shift his/her focus from earning money to throughly enjoying their lives? I mean, even if you're super successful on your business and earning lots of money, should you deliberately stop at some point? if so, when should it be? I think it would mostly depend on your net worth. at how much net worth would it be best to retire? (although I know it depends)

edit: I get the concept of enjoying the business journey it self. but what I wonder is when to stop suppressing other things you want to do, which could be time consuming, at the expense of dedicating to the business. I know it might vastly differ and only I can decide for my life but want to hear your thoughts.

edit: changed title from 'when to start thoroughly enjoying your life?'
