Here! Here! Well it was less than TWO years ago for me so the memories are still very fresh. I remember trying to save up my vacation days and actually buying extra days so I could get my full 2 weeks for Christmas. And I would hate it when Christmas would fall on the wrong day and we'd get shorted out of some days.
As you said, some people do enjoy their jobs and this life is not really for them, but it certainly seems to be the life for me. I think it would be different if I had to sit at home cooped up in the house for 8 hours/day. I'm not sure I'd want to work from home if I had to keep set hours. But I try to make the best of it and make complete use of the flexibility I have now. Plus doing what you love makes a huge difference as you said.
And you are so right. I think getting tired of my 9 to 5 job was definitely the motivation that pushed me along. I was so bored and needed a change.
Hopefully this thread will give inspiration to those seeking to become their own boss. You can do it!
