It's enough if you make it enough.
My only issue is I am the sole source of support/breadwinner for my family, and the only person with health insurance (through work). At the beginning of this year I had considered changing jobs to try to get around 40-45 hours a week, which would have likely left me without health insurance for a short time (or COBRA for a fair amount). Mrs. "Bullwinkle" had a stroke, spent a few days in the hospital, would have cost some major $ & made finding new health insurance tougher. I'm probably just going to keep working as long as possible, too many techs in my field seem to pass on shortly after they retire, not sure why.
