I do, but it's not feasible with a 4 year old and divorced from his mother.

If she'd let me I'd take him and move to Colorado, or Wyoming.

Years ago I was stuck in a very bad marriage. I had decided if I could just put together $4000 I was going to chuck it all and move to a Carribean Island and start over. Never happened. I treasure my kids ( born after said adventure) and would not give them up for anything. I got the divorce I richly deserved and am totally happy now and certainly have the 4 grand I needed back then. But it would have been interesting if I had acted on my plan.

I sold my house and my truck and relocated my family to Colorado this year. Didn't have to quit the job. It's been great. I'm glad we made the change.

I've done it a few times actually, most recently this month. No regrets.

It's possible to work less, live a productive life, and still be happy. It's about where you place your focus and what you value in life. The older I get the more I realize that material possessions doesn't mean much. What means a lot to me is the relationship I have with God, my family and friends, and being the best husband, father, and friend I can be to those I'm come in contact with. You can have all the money in the world and still be miserable and feel like life has no purpose.

If I did, it would be to buy a sailboat and I'd just see where we ended up.

Well I'm drunk so I'll come chime in again. BR has plenty to do if you look for it. You're bored because you're boring. You could move to NYC and have the same complaint. "Nobody's knocking on my door telling me to do things". It's not your location that sucks, it's you.

I've, essentially, done it twice now. Sold everything and moved to NYC back in 2011. Then late in 2014 did it again and moved from NYC to San Francisco. Nothing but good has happened. I'm 34.

Had a house on LSU Ave, great job and I loved living in BR. Packed up 15 years ago, and moved to Montana. Vert stressful, but quite the adventure. That's what life is about to me-The Adventure.

From time to time, yes. I've done it before, but the situations are totally different. Living life on the road can be a lot of fun (and really difficult) but it is a worthwhile endeavor if you have the right spirit.
