Golf course designer specializing in mountain courses. I'd make sure that I'd do lots of site visits to check out the drifting patterns in the winter as I'm designing courses all over ski country ;)

I don't see myself at another job 15 years at this one. Maybe 15 or 20 more. Want to retire 55 to 62. Depending how my bank account looks.

Don't even get me started on Social Security..if even part of that was in a private fund..I'd get mad loot if I make it to age 65..

Feel free to invest some money for mad loot and not rely on SSN to keep you in your life style... Thats what I'm doing..

What concerns me is when people invest their only future(SSN) into "mad loot" and they lose it... Then we have to pay for them to live twice...

There are times that I wish I became a ski bum and not got married. Marriage and job get in the way of my skiing, golf and tennis.

10 years ago I had a job offer from Vail to be a manager of one of their rental shops. I don't remember the reason at the time, but I couldn't make it out to Colorado as early as they wanted so I had to turn it down. Sometimes I wonder what I'd be doing now if I had gone out there. . .

Love the fam, but there are times when I would rather be alone and skiing. May be I am having a mid-life crisis.

i know where you are coming from. I love my wife love and my kids. wouldnt trade them for anything.

that being said, i do get a little "antsy" when i know its gonna be a prime ski weekend or day, whatever, and a family obligation holds me back. I feel guilty for thinking this way but what can you do.

She skis but does not like the cold. So she does not go very often. Kids will go but not all the time. So, I go by myself. I do get crap for though. Can't win. The two seat convertible won't hold my skis. May replace the X5 with and FJ Cruiser. Don't want to spend $75K on a car anymore either. Rather spend it on a ski place. That is a whole other story. Any one want to hear?

Dude - you just gotta wait it out a bit. In a few years you can take the kids with you and your wife will thank you for it!

I take a day-off from the orifice.

Its completely full of WIN! No wife or kid, no feelings of guilt that I should be with the fam, 'cos wife's at work, kid is in school. I'm out of work for the day, and the slopes and lifts are much less crowded.

Its the perfect solution. :cool:
