Only have one long-term goal: maximizing the happyness of my family. Biggest achievement would be not having to worry about finances and being able to work (a lot) less.

Pretty much every short-term goal ought to be a net plus on my longterm goal. Short-term goals: 1. Get our new SaaS business to 3K euro MRR So my wife can quit job and support the SaaS (It's targeting the niche she works in, once software is done she does over support / sales / marketing / networking etc.). This is #1 because her job is awfull and low-paying, so we need to fix that first. Just landed a great customer so fingers crossed...

2. Either get SaaS up to 8k euro MRR+ OR start another - So i can start working alongside her doing the same kind of work. Might even be able to hire someone so we can take some days off!

My job now is great. Pay is not great, but i can easily take days of if i want or work from home etc. No commute to speak of, so maximum time for other company stuff. If #1 or #2 is a bust, i'm pretty confident i will keep trying to get a SaaS off the ground. Either that or get another job half an hour away so i can retire a few years faster. Lets hope for the former.
