> don't see an option where the work ever actually truly ends. There's always more. Always things I need to be doing. And until I have enough to retire, I have to keep grinding.

There's always another possibility: you might die. And then what would happen to the poor work?

I'm not worried about the work.

But my family, who needs my financial support, would be in a much much worse position.

In that case I highly suggest you stop what you're doing and buy $1-3M of term life insurance, depending on various factors.

I'm completely serious.

I do have that, actually. I'd very much like to not rely on that, though :)

My post you're responding to was a little dramatic and really just a response to the idea that I cared about whether the actual work gets done. I just care about my family.
