Jeff, I think that you make a good point here. Now that I have been working to become financially free for a few years, I can look back and at least have something to base my reasoning off of. What I think is really important is that you enjoy life no matter what you are doing. I know some people who have become so wrapped up in the idea of being "successful" in business, that they fail at about every other aspect of their life.

For me, and I think you to, it is still important to become financially free, but we are not willing to sacrafice quality of life for that. I am willing to go without a few fancy toys for a while, but I am not willing to spend so much time working that I don't travel, or have friends, or stay close with my family. I think that this is the mistake that some people make.
