One of the few things I've done right is choosing where to live before choosing what to do for a living. Most of the big money's in the big cities, and most of the people making it wear neckties and spend their waking hours in offices. They're wage-slaves who are miserable fifty weeks a year so that they can spend two weeks a year where I live. I'd love to trade paychecks with them, but I sure wouldn't trade lifestyles.

Right on...I just wish someone had told me this 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI notice this expands on an item from your excellent "Advice to my kids" post from last year...it's a great list, and well worth re-visiting every now and then.
