Currently they are sporting the ideal:
Do what you love,
Love what you do
Totally easier said than done. I mean, I love drinking, but don't want to do it for a living! And if I HAD to socialize to pay my rent, wouldn't it be a chore?
Then the question of hobbies comes up. Sure, I could go get a job at the Apple Store. But at 35 I can honestly say I don't want to stand on my feet all day earning $20/hr to work my way up to store manager. If I really wanted to work for the fabulous Mr. Jobs I could try for corporate, but my love for living in NYC beats me moving to California. (Although I did apply for an Ireland opening without a problem.)
What is interesting at this point in my life is the constant interior dialogue about how nice it is to have money. Over the last year I have finally for the first time in my life been able to afford all those things I have denied myself for years. Clothes, computer, video game, travel, and finally now furniture. Once I get a new couch and chair my big-ticket items are complete. Money will be a luxury for a while and I can afford a pay cut if I decide on a career change.
Unless I want to buy a home. Is the security of real estate worth staying at a job that I kind of like sometimes?
Do what you love.... love what you do. Something to ruminate on.

Must be nice to have the $$$ at last! How do you like the wii? Somehow, I don't see you as a homeowner. Unless you inherit from a rich uncle, the mortgages can really tie you down
The $$$ is just another experience. It really doesn't change much. Just moves your focus a bit.
Honestly...the Wii is pretty fun. Wouldn't miss it if I never bought it, but it is a really cool game to play with friends. :)
