I think it's fabulous that you've achieved the lifestyle you want. So many people plod along in an actual J-O-B they have to go to for years and hate it. I have freelanced for over a decade and wouldn't have it any other way!
Great article, @katebenzin! I like the freedom I have right now. Working at home on my own schedule and having time to spend with my boys. Being able to go to every field trip or school event. However, I do like your idea of 6 months work, 6 months free. I think that ultimately, I want to cut down to working 2-4 hours per day, 3 days per week - having the rest of my time to do as I please!
You've set yourself up perfectly - being able to work at home and be a mom to your boys. We're so lucky to be in this world at a time when we have the possibility to do real work from home.
This is a very thought provoking question for me. I don't know exactly what kind of freedom I want, but I would like to be a little more free than 40 hours a week every week of the year. Six months on and six months off does sound very intriguing, but for now, freedom for me would be a weekday off every week or two. Just one day. That would be nice.

Can't understand why or how people stay in a job they hate for years and years. I'm glad that you were brave enough to hit out on your own.

Kate, is that a spaceship behind you?
