I seem to recall seeing that you are quite abit younger than me(I'm 54). I spent many years working 100+ hour weeks so that when I got to this point I wouldn't have to push so hard. I don't regret the long hours then, but I don't want to do it now.

My wife and I have considered a cottage or lake home, I don't want one because I have too much wanderlust-I want to see/go everywhere, not the same place every time I leave the farm. I would get bored quickly if I felt obligated to go the same place all the time.
