What makes you happy? What is your American Dream?
thibaut_barrere: Here we favor:* have good time together as a family and as a couple* work on things that make sense (useful end-goal + way of work that makes sense)* intellectual open-ness (learn useful things etc)* financial independence as much as possible (along the lines of http://evolvingworker.com/2010/2/3/alternate-wealth)We (my wife and I) don't care much about having a lot of money (although we appreciate jaguars and classy houses, if we could afford them), but we care a lot more about our freedom.We've been reducing expenses to ensure we're able to go live in the country side of France next month, as well :)Hope this helps, and nice topic!
