23. I haven't worked outside the home for several years.
During that time, I built a house, a shop, and developed some nearby property. I volunteer at school, learned to be a better cook (I even bake bread!), cut firewood, did some steel detailing from home and numerous odd-jobs.

Luckily, I was blessed with a like-minded wife.

You might be surprised how much economically-productive (not to be confused with money-making) activity you can do from home. I find the creative challenge much more fun than the workaday world, and with only a moderate impact on our standard of living.

But you remind me; I need to get out of this chair and build that greenhouse and till our garden.

Get a copy of "the tightwad gazette" and/or "your money or your life" from the library.
