It always takes me aback, because I don’t think of us as having an unhappy or particularly difficult life. Frankly, I consider us lucky, because we’ve been given a second chance. It’s amazing how empowering it has been to simply let go of the collective American dream and focus on what it is that will make us really happy. And I know that one day soon, we’ll look at each other and know that all this hard work has been worth it.

I also concur with Ron H., that sometimes lifestyle design that involves travel to distant places is a wonderful pursuit for some, and for others like Lisa it's about having time to take care of one's self, family, and work with joy doing things that may or may not have an immediate financial perk--but will likely evolve into that realm, as did the family's new friends. I so appreciate Lisa's story. Best wishes Lisa and thank you Clay for continuing to support us on these paths. Yes this is another shining example of moving toward a quality life.

What I liked about this family is, there focus IS NOT on taking a 6 month vacation or taking a vow of poverty it's about getting more time to spend with the people that are most important and living a more stress free lifestyle. Sure we all want and need time off but one thing that I do not like about the lifestyle design is, there is way to much foucs on taking months off to travel to distant places. That's fine, but I'd actually like to WORK more doing the things I love and spend time nurturing current relationships and creating new friends. Great story. Great and inspiring story.

(Assuming that you are doing short term options trading as opposed to using options as part of a long term portfolio) I'm not saying it's impossible but even the people who are tremendously intelligent (I'm not saying you're not) and have dedicated their lives to trading options are starting to struggle now because of the computerized trading algorithms that snap up market inefficiencies before a human trader has a chance. Again, it's certainly possible to be successful but it will be very difficult to be truly successful long term when compared to just passively investing your capital in a diversified portfolio. You might get lucky in the short term but it seems likely that what you're doing is probably negative expectation. I hate to be a negative nancy but I don't want to see people get burned by the hope of making a quick buck in the market. You can get by just fine with the other things that you are doing.

Having a family business go under is lousy, but it's amazing to see what that event spawned for you. “…in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.” – 2 Corinthians 8:2 Thank you for sharing.
