I didn’t even realize I was doing it, but I spent my twenties fostering a love of freedom of time, and laying the foundation to have as much of that as I could while still leading a normal life. By the time I was ready to settle down back in the tiny town I grew up in, I knew I must always have as much freedom as possible. I’ve been self employed since my late twenties and even though I could make double the money doing what I do for a large company, my family lives comfortably and I’d never trade the freedom I have. Having a wife and children is the best part of life, and I want to make sure I soak up as much of it as I can.
