Are you having fun? Are you enjoying life? Are you increasingly feeling safe/more comfortable? For me, these questions remind me to enjoy the journey, periodically make a course correction, and make sure I am stashing something for the future while I have the resources. What is the value of 30? Or 40? Beyond symbolism, don't the first group of questions stay the same?

Am always enjoying life, but I want to be more successful and run my own startup. I make a good living, have all the necessities in life, which being a basic person, is a roof, a set of clothes and some bread and water (some chicken thrown in ofcourse..lol). I live a basic life and have excess amounts of cash to invest into the AIM etc. Here's what I missed out...am not having fun. A 9-5, I can not stand but lucky for me, I don't do have to do this. I go in when I want and finish when I want, my employers know I get the job done and just leave me to it. However, working for an organisation which its not allowed to make a profit is dragging me down. I had the motivation to create great products managing teams, highly successful business models and double/triple profits for my employers. This may have left me feeling sh*t if my employers cashed in and I didnt, but most times, I was rewarded heavily. I have dont this for employers, now I want to do this for me. Currently, I just keep a non-profit organisation plodding along, and so long as we break even at the end of the year, everyone keeps their job and we plod along! This was important to me 2 years ago. My marriage had ended and I needed a stable thing, with the huge mortgage burdon she had left me with. I still have this morgage burdon, one I could seriously do without considering I dont care to live in a house or a caravan but with the market at an all time low, am stuck in a position where I will loss over 40K if I sell now. All my cash and not the banks so am not in negative-equite with them. You'll think am crazy here, but I dont care about cash, and have considers loosing 50K to get out. To me, its only money and hapiness is definately more important, however, when I evaluated my life once I sell, I simply end up renting and paying the same as the mortgage, so there's no point. How can I have fun in what I currently do is the question am asking myself now? Thanks for helping me reach this far.
