Well thats my point of view, it have worked for me; obviously I have had hard times like everybody else, but when you are making your dreams true instead of dreaming, those hard times are also part of the dream; Find what makes you happy and the way to join that on your working life as it is already present on your personal life, because the true is that at the end, working YOU a personal YOU were just YOU, what makes YOU HAPPY works for both sides. Well, like I said it's my oppinion, works for me, and I understand that everyone is different and what works for me not necessarily works for others...and viceversa, but hope works for someone else.

Some way that you write draws me to you and makes me laugh and remember who I am and why I'm here. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that :)<br/><br/>I love this post because since deciding to stop being stupid and get out of debt two years ago, this ideal you write about here has been what I've worked so hard to become. It's a way of life, and you say it so well. <br/><br/>I'm not there yet, but I'm only 22 - and with a high-paying job and no-debt on the horizon (I was such an idiot at 18), I think I could get there! Even if it takes me until I'm 40 to get it right.<br/><br/>Thanks :) All three of these have been exceptionally fun, but this is by far my favorite.

That is the truth, when I grow up, I hope to be like you. I don't know about this thermostat business though. I like to put the heat on full blast because my childhood was very deprived and my parents wouldn't put the heat on high enough even though it was literally freezing outside. Gobs and gobs of hot air blowing from the furnace is my guilty splurge in life. Or at least a bucket full of hot coals. You are my idol. That is the truth, when I grow up, I hope to be like you.
