In reply to Becky @ RunFunDone. Thanks! To you two as well :) May your husband take you on more snowboarding adventures this year!

In reply to Katherine. Hey Katherine :) I've actually tried it once before, but only lasted a couple of months... mainly because I had to commute a little to get there and didn't like waiting to work in the mornings. I'd be up for trying again if it were somewhere close by, like walking distance, but currently no places like that around here. Excellent idea though! Thanks for stopping by :)

I love this! My husband is self-employed, and sometimes I get really jealous of him, because he works way fewer hours than me, and can go snowboarding whenever he wants. But, I also like the stability of my boring 9-5 job, and would probably be an anxious nutcase if I were self-employed. Your reflections tell both sides of the story! Good luck to you in 2014! :)

In reply to J. Money. I'm taking the professional athlete market by storm baby! I get to talk finance and sports every day, and who better to need financial planning help than recently wealthy 22-year olds!

To relieve some of the loneliness, have you looked into joining a coworking group/space?

[Maybe someone else has suggested this in the 40+ comments above]

Wow… thats an interesting link J!
I’ve had pangs of that over the years… how weird that there is a syndrome named after it (although I guess there is one for everything nowadays!)

Looking at your list, I would definitely take the rough on there to get the smooth, so hopefully I’ll be somewhere, anywhere near where you are in 3 years also! You are right though it’s clearly not for everyone!

Good luck for future learnings!

You might have the record for the longest reader! WOO! Thanks so much for being a part of it this entire time – we’re now 6 years older! Haha… :)
