I chose not to own a house, own a car, have a fulltime job, or have kids as freedom for me has been my lifelong pursuit. I do have a part time job at the local business selling HVAC equipment but it only takes up about 15 hours a week. I know that there are a lot of things I am missing out on but I do have the luxury of freedom in my schedule to do as I please. I read the book Work Less and Play More back in 1998 and a year later decided to change my life so that I had more free time each day. It took me a couple of years to get it simplified like it is now but I finally did it. I like working at the HVAC business each week as it gets me around people and helps me use my brain in ways that I don’t when I am at home with my cats relaxing with my quiet music. I also play drums and sing, which is really my favorite thing to do in my spare time. I play at some of the local businesses with my buddy and spend a lot of time in the sand on my favorite beach. I teach some beach volleyball but mainly just play the sport for the fun of it. Tomorrow I am doing inventory at the HVAC company for a few hours and then meeting my friends at the airport who are coming to visit me for the next two weeks. It should be fun.
