That's how it should be 
Ive had more money than i can spend and been broke and homeless, not to mention many places imbetween.. cash doesnt define happiness... does help you play though...
What's your daily routine, Greg? Read the paper on BART, go Espresso-Bar hopping?
I've mostly been trying to force myself to read some Ruby and Rails books to brush up on the geek stuff in this time -- stuff that I found it hard to have the time (and stamina) to get into much while holding down a full-time job. But I find myself more playing with technologies like TV-over-IP, geo-locational services, and APIs. And then there's the usual networking thing for lining up any next job...
I really need to spend more time surfing porn, because I will regret such a missed opportunity once I'm back among the employed stiffs.
Good question. It's strange, but lately I've been a lot more in the habit of making the espresso (if not also roasting the coffee) at home.

Thanks much, Paul.
Employment is such a weird psychological thing as an adult. We so easily wrap up our identity with what we do for a living so that when we're not doing that, a lot of people get "lost". It's been 16 years since I've been in that boat, so I know what to expect. But it's still a challenge sometimes.
As bad as the economy is, there's opportunities out there still that keep coming up. (I just got asked to do an interview Tuesday in the past 5 minutes, for example.) So my challenge is really to make the most of my time while I'm in it, and not lose sight of the present ... because of falling into the trap of focusing entirely on my next employment gig.
Amazing how you think you could do so much during the day if you weren't working. Then when you have the time for yourself, you're still amazed at how fast the day can fly by.
She works from home, with travels out to regional offices from time-to-time. But it's nice getting to spend more time with her during the day.
Having hung onto jobs through previous nasty recessions, especially in my field, I also know what it's like to work at a company where everyone is freaking out about possibly losing their job and worries that the axe is coming. It's easy for management to add the pressure in those situations (this coming from effectively a manager!). So part of me half wonders if it's better not to work when offices are so ugly right now -- burning the midnight oil for shrinking wages, being asked to take on the workload of two people and smile about it, etc.

I know a top student in my field who tried to find a job but to no prevail. So he's heading back to get a Masters. If top students can't find jobs, I'm very fucked. If the dollar loses most of its purchasing power, we are all fucked. Who shoulders the blame? Everybody. But for the most part, the doom comes when the dollar is dead, which stems from the decisions by the idiots in office over the last eight years. May all those who voted for them feel the brunt of their idiocy.
So, you are basically saying is..?
The point is rich or poor, (both of which ive been) money doesnt dictate happiness and frankly isnt important... quite possibbly the best year or so of my life was whilst myself and wife to be, homeless and without work...
If you need money then you have far bigger worries when it comes to the big picture
I know the sound life lessons you were given, based on your experience, and respect that. But besides just joking, it sounded like you were saying you were poor before but now you are fairly rich, not that you care much for it. But the family bit of covered for life, and having more then you can spend, sounded like a sophisticated way to proclaim "I\m rich bitch!!"
You are vague enough as it is, but may I ask what your line of work is? I think you said journalist, but didnt realise one could get fairly rich on it. Unless one is big fish/famous journo.
