We are all different in our expectations and desires. Ofcourse, It would be great to have that financial independence to say I don't "need" to work anymore for money. However, I am happy to work with computers at my job that pays money, be with my family and play with my little boy while not working, and do wood working in spare time(3 hours a week). Little bit of everything makes you appreciate their value. I for one would be easily overwhelmed if I could do woodworking the whole time, or watching my little boy the whole time(I love him, but I love him more when he is social with his friends at day care and I am there for him when he is home). If I had a way to make more money without losing the ^ balance, I'd jump on it. But, I am not running crazy behind any one of those. I realise what I said would probably not make sense to me from 10 years ago - it was all about fun, and money then.
