It's also nice not having to worry about when/if your next paycheck will come in, if you can afford your health insurance, get company matches on 401ks, etc.. Freedom is free, after all. While security may be an illusion to some degree, it's a compromise for freedom that many are willing to make (myself included).

I sometimes get urges to go out and sow some wild oats, but I debate if it's worth all the effort in the end.
