kidgas said:I have never been in such a situation, but agree that you need a plan.
My parents raised me "old school":
You have a responsibility to provide for your family.
I have plenty of ideas about what I might change for my own life,
but I need to put food on the table and provide a measure of stability and security for my wife and 6 kids.
Rep speed for you, kidgas.
Too many people can't integrate both. They see their lives as either:
a) Being strapped down to dead-end responsibilities (aka "DOING"), or
b) Being able to live free and try out new things (aka "DREAMING").
It's hard to do both, but it can be done.
Oftentimes, the method used is to work full time (or even part time, w/a spouse working full time), while developing the new "dream" ideas.
This takes lots of dedication and commitment.
Reminds me of the Thomas Edison quote: "Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration"
