I agree. For a long time the biggest fear was the money thing until I realized that my time is worth a lot more!!! I'm now doing freelance design and illustration from home and loving it.

When we were kids we just did things for the joy of it. It seems as though you continued along this path and at the same time by not making money a big deal the comfort came. Good show. I admire you for choosing what you want. Robin that’s beautiful to know. When we were kids we just did things for the joy of it.

I used this way of thinking even when I had very little money (we are comfortable now), which was for several years. I was not working, so my days were free, and I focused on how my activities were actually the things I wanted to be doing, however much money I had (they weren't exactly, but were as close as I could get) - I think this was a big part of how I changed things around. (couldn't resist my other comment just now!)

Fear around the lack of money keeps many stuck within the slavery of employment.

They just want to research and they realize that they may not come up with anything. It appears nuts, I know but I'm betting that scientists are among that small group of happier employees out there. It's interesting that you use the word ownership because that's what many corporations try to instill i their workers a sense of ownership. Too bad the workers can't just wise up and be their own boss, for that's the only real ownership. Politics as Usual I agree. We get to be our own best boss and our own worst boss. How sweet it is. :) Marelisa I guess those scientist are well aware of the trade going in. They just want to research and they realize that they may not come up with anything.

I'm all for saving up as much as you can and then making the leap to self employment. It's a whole lot nicer than working for a dumb boss. At least with self employment you can only complain about how dumb you are yourself.
