Some people have thousands of dollars of debt, and a big 'ole house that they're renting from the bank and a slick Lexus parked out front that they're also renting from the bank.
As for me? Well I've got my phunmobile, packed with thousands of dollars worth of phun. Equipment for Paragliding, kitesurfing, spearfishing and freediving, archery and bowhunting, hiking and camping.
I guess it comes down to values. You could go for the stuff of white-picket fences, cubicles, and 9-5. Or you can go for the stuff of experiences.

Yesterday I taught a paragliding lesson, making a little bank, caught a solo flight, and then I did archery all afternoon. I monitored my email and responded to a few IT support calls, making a little more bank, and finally had a nice cookout dinner while a mellow cloudy sunset revealed itself.
I didn't spend a dime all day and only burned a little gas shuffling up-n-down the road from the landing zone. Today's looking like the same. Completed lessons for the day and now spending time watching the clouds. I'm thinking I might do a bit more shooting and then go for a hike with my glider and maybe catch a sunset flight.
In the words of Ed Abbey, someone has to do it!
