&gt; That&#x27;s what you&#x27;re buying with all this &quot;Entrepreneuring&quot;. The ability to replace your old income with a new one that doesn&#x27;t necessarily require you to work full time for it.<p>I cannot possibly agree more strongly with this. While I still have an internal fire that wants to put a couple more commas in my bank balance, the ability to <i>experience life however and whenever you want to</i> is, once found, not easily let go.<p>My wife (a teacher) and I live abroad, and the nature of her work means she has effectively ~90 days of paid vacation (not including weekends) each year. I&#x27;m not certain what our life would be like if I were still an executive, but I&#x27;m sure that our relationship wouldn&#x27;t be as strong without the shared experiences that come from being able to take advantage of that time in a meaningful way.
