I think I finally reached it. I don't make a whole lot of money and I don't own all the best stuff but I'm happy in my life and my work is my play.

It can be done.

(Granted, I'm 57.)

Some real interesting guesses but, actually, I'm an author.

Sounds like a sinecure

Generally one can't interview for it, is only employed thru nepotism

Sounds awesome. Not sure if my fiance would approve of me taking on a less stable job with lower pay though, she wants to have kids and some cats when we get our own place.

And I appreciate that. For many years, I worked in marketing. I didn't really start my career as an author full-time until I was in my 40s, though I wrote my whole life. It's all about finding the path that's right for you and learning to be happy on it.

I'm a multi-genre author, both fiction and non. I don't make a whole lot, as stated, but I'm okay with that because I get to do what I love.
