Ever since I got done with college, my dream career was to be retired. I can't think of anything better than to not ever have to work.
So, when the opportunity came along that I got to stay home and play with a baby all day long, and work during nap times, some evenings, and weekends, that was great.
Of course, I was still just kind of blundering along. I hadn't taken the time to look inside and see why this was so much better than going to an office, doing financial advising, or even helping kids in treatment.
