re: Ever thought of just giving it all up..

I have a good buddy that I've known since middle school. He ended up going to Alabama for undergrad. Decided he wasn't done with school, so stayed around and got a Masters.

What's he do now? Lives on an island and works at/part owns a bar. Drives a golf cart half a mile to work, gets off work and drinks every day. When he's not working he's either golfing or taking the boat out to fish.

Gotta admit it doesn't sound bad.
