Don't pass up on serendipity. (The chances) 2. Regret nothing (Just don't do stupid things) 3. Divide your time. 50/50 work and play. Only the third one can be difficult for some - but in your case ...... your work and work ethic is very impressive. You can do it. Hint: Only "contract" for fixed amounts, NEVER a rate. Finally, clever tax planning means working more than 6 months in a year is not necessary. Money isn't everything - life's memories are.
