I watched a program on TV some years ago about ten aged and extremely wealthy people who were still active in their various fields. To a man all agreed that monetary gain had never been a driving interest in their lives. They all became active in their various fields because they had an interest in their fields and enjoyed the time they put into their work. That their endeavors made them wealthy was just a by product of their endeavors and had never been a goal...as witnessed by the fact that they were far beyond an age to retire and had the wealth to retire for many years past...but yet they remained active in their fields.
