No I'm not at the moment, I enjoy my current job (I also do a little freelance work on the side) however it doesn't pay all that well and I'll likely be moving soon, which means my income need is going to increase when that happens.
Being stuck in public school for 12 yrs pretty much destroyed any desire in me to be stuck in one place for 8 hours and bored for the majority of it, and I'm kind of getting a late start in getting my life fully on track (I'm 24) because from the time I was 17 or so until about 23, I was pretty horribly depressed and didn't care much about getting ahead, was content to just "get by" because I honestly couldn't have cared less if I'd live another day or not.
I think I've made more progress in 2006-7 than I did in 4 whole years combined before then, I have a much more positive state of mind now but I've been breaking even in those years that I should have been saving!
If I have to break down and go the standard job route I will, just trying my hardest to avoid it as I really enjoy what I'm doing now, and would love for my freelance work to pick up a bit but it's been pretty slow lately.
