I think what made this story all the more interesting to me is that you are doing this even though (and also because) you have a family. These kind of stories usually lend themselves to those that are less restricted as far as commitment goes.

For yourself, was it a question of weighing up between there more for your family against providing more financially for them in the future, or are you that comfortable that it isn't really something that weighs into it all that much.

Great article though, it's always good to see people going against the norm in search of a more rounded life.

I think it's actually the opposite, as I've also just started doing the same after almost losing my father and with a family on the horizon.

I'd say it's actually because of these 'commitments' that you've finally got something worth staying home for.
