Prior to that, all I could think about was having enough money for retirement. I set up spreadsheets to track my progress against my goal. I changed my attitude towards retirement after talking with a retired relative. His hobbies became going shopping and going to the doctor. He was a vibrant man prior to his retirement. I also read a quote that said, in effect, people live a longer, more fulfilling life if they have somewhere to go each day. I realized that I actually liked to work. I climb the walls when I don't have anything to do. I made up my mind then and there not to seek a conventional retirement. I may change my mind, but for now, I'm planning on keeping busy in some fashion. I had an epiphany sometime last year. Prior to that, all I could think about was having enough money for retirement.

If you focus your entire life on earning enough money so you can be happy in retirement, you might arrive having realized you forgot to learn how to be happy in the first place. Like you said, it's not just the end game that matters.
