Your working life.

[Henry Hill]

I work to live, not live to work.

No point being the richest man in the cemetry.

I spent 30 years climbing the corporate greasy pole, always enjoyed the work but hated the corporate politics. Realised in my 40s that everyone hitting 50 was being shown the door but somehow made it to 52 before the jobs market "retired" me. Tried for years to find a lower level role but it just doesn't happen so after a few years of ad hoc consulting packed it all in.
I did find my social life would involve work colleagues more than friends, but I guess that was inevitable as I was working abroad quite a lot in the 2000s.
