I work remotely, use my unlimited PTO to take 30 days off a year and travel with my wife extensively and we are scouting places in San Jose Costa Rica and Panama City, Panama next year where we can alternate and spend the winters as (the dry season there) and spend the rest of the year in Florida while we continue to cross places off of our bucket list. I have nothing left to prove to myself. I have worked at 60 person startups all the way to BigTech - no longer there. I definitely don’t plan to be grinding at 68.

I wouldn't be grinding at 69 either! It has to be a matter of feeling like it's a form of self-expression.

If you feel your mode of expressing yourself is to travel, etc., then that's fantastic too.
