My circumstances are not TOO different from most other people on here (if anything, my lifestyle is probably more demanding than that of most). I certainly don't have any unusual wealth that allows me to dangle my feet most of the time, or anything like that.

I do software development and IT consulting and am gradually moving away from freelancing (where I do most of the work myself) towards just orchestrating things and streaming work through my company to other freelancers.

If you need even more context - I also have a family with 3 young children and the income that I generate is about 100% of our total family income.
