I (nor does my wife) have nothing against what people need to do to make a living but its just not the life I would like to lead.

Gander, when I met my wife, she found it pretty interesting. I even hired her one summer before we were married to do some blackjack stuff in Reno. When my son was born, I was able to cut way back for a few years and be the main stay-at-home parent. That was a huge reward for the chosen job path. It's worked well for me, but I recognize that it's not a realistic (or even appealing) option for most.
