I like HelmetDance's thought process.
6. How many times today did I make my wife smile because I told her I loved her? (For 30 years, too)
7. How good of a job did I do at work today; did I do a day's work for a day's pay?
8. How do people look at me as a person? I'm far from perfect, but try to be a decent guy.
etc, etc.
I'm doing the best I can to save for retirement, because more than anything else, I don't want my sweetie to worry about the future. But that's my choice, and there are others that don't agree with me and live for today because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. I don't work hard to save every penny, and I don't spend every last one, either. There is, for me, a middle point that works for us. That's all that matters.
ps, I didn't vote because my opinion really doesn't matter to anyone else.
