My FIL is a very good role model for me. He built a successful business over many years, and while he worked a lot, he made time to attend every family event, and every one of my husband's sporting things. He wasn’t working while there either, he would volunteer at the events and help clean up afterward.
He worked long hours, but he also took long family vacations (like 2+ weeks) at least once a year, and smaller weekend trips besides. He’s semi-retired now (sold the business, but got bored eventually) and still does some deals here and there. BUT, he spends most of his time playing a sport with a rotating group of neighbors and is always meeting friends or family for a meal out somewhere. He seems prob 10-15 years younger than other men the same age just because he stays healthy and is nearly always in a good mood.
