In my case, yes. Spouse is a skilled tradesman. In some ways, that's not as good because it's less flexible.

I do that now. I'm not immune to the idea of picking up and going or getting something that would require travel.

I am doing that now, with very limited success. I've yet to make back my initial supply outlay and may never do that, but doing something you love, even at a loss, is better than doing only what's necessary to survive.

Not the world necessarily. There's so much about this country to discover yet.

Been there, done that, gained the weight. It's overrated.

Stayed home their first 6 years, until they were in first grade and from that point, only worked while they were in school. I highly recommend taking time to be home with your kids. They're only kids once and childhood is swift.

I always have 'ideas' planned. Reality has a way of biting into those plans, though. Right now, working a lousy job and still having time to do what I love seems the best compromise. And it's not even that the job is that lousy-more that the pay really sucks.
