Why? So at 50/55 I can do what I want to do. There will be enough built up for me to go and be either the garden designer or the florist I would like to be. And to be honest I actually enjoy my job so i am hoping that I will be lucky and live it my way :). I think the key is constant revaluation.

I'm really fortunate that I have a job I actually really like most of the time and I love the people I work with, I choose to spend time with them outside of work as well as in. I think that makes such a difference. I have worked in places where I didn't like the job or the people and it make me so miserable.
