Time vs money, if you could do it over again, how would you deal with the time vs money equation/relationship differently?

I can only speak for myself. Age 23 to 31 worked 2 jobs from 7am until 11pm with Friday night off and part of Sunday (bought a house at 25). Quit both at 32 and sold the house; my wife and 2 children toured America for over 2 years from Disney World to Wisconsin to The Grand Canyon before settling down and getting jobs again. Went into construction and learned many trades and went into business building homes and remodeling. It was a lot of work, both physically and mentally, but the freedom was worth it. As an example, in 2006 at the end of July we closed in an addition to a house and took our 4 laborers(all 18 year old boys) out west for 5 weeks to camp in Yosemite and The Grand Canyon etc. Being your own boss is at times terrorizing and the freest you can be. Nothing like answering your cell phone on a 500 acre lake (while fishing)from a doctor's office wondering when you could come look at some renovations they would like to make and telling them as soon as this fishing trip ends in 2 or 3 weeks(free cabin from my wife's family friend)
