Forums aren't always the most Pleasant place to be so maybe that has something to do with it?

A couple of decades ago I was working hard but not making any money. I decided I had to either raise my prices or get out of the business. I raised my prices and survived.

A little OT but been retired 8 years now and it seems I have less free time than then. But I think taking care of ones self and spouse takes more time out of the day and generally not wanting to work as much. Usually now I'm sipping coffee in my jammies when I would have already been awake for 4 hrs getting ready, commuting etc to work. I spent a great deal of my career in hotels for a week or 2 at a time and just catching up with spending time with my wife.
