I have already worked harder than most would in 5 lifetimes. I am working full time at a trade I always wanted to work in and am trained for. My home looks like a Cabela's exploded inside it. Every room full of guns, ammunition, optics, cutlery, calls, hunting clothing, antlers, fishing tackle, game and fish mounts, wildlife art and hunting/fishing antiques and collectibles. And above all I'm blessed with a wife that not only tolerates my hobbies and home decorating habits but actually participates in, enjoys and encourages them. Seems to me my "circumstances" are better than most and I am not jealous of those who buy and use over priced turkey guns and think those nasty feathered rats worth the expenditure.
