some people are so time committed that they don't have time to plan
what you are talking about. I know several couples, they travel
almost constantly with work, have 2-3 kids, a dog, a nanny a
housekeeper and lawn care person. They moved here from the big city
to live a more relaxed life style. I can't imagine what their life
was like before. They claim they are living a slower pace now.
