My oldest brother and youngest sister had passed away. So, more money may mean less time/life to enjoy the money for me.

I am sorry to hear about your oldest brother and youngest sister. Did they have any regrets in life?
When I said about working for more money, at least it is true in my case. Although I no longer love my teaching job, I do not hate it. I have been thinking about walking away right now, in a year, or in some future years, almost daily. But making more money does not seem to be a bad thing and walking away is difficult. I have nothing that I want to do and I cannot do with my job. I have three months of unpaid vacation time each year, so travelling or visiting family is not a problem. I want to help my children and one is currently unemployed. I want to fund my hobbies, including more visits to casinos (my entertainment). All needs money, the more the better.
However, if I retire or lose my job, I will not look for a job anymore.
