I guess that depends on how much you enjoy your side projects.

Over the Christmas holidays, I rooted the vacuum robot, built a workstation from parts, worked on a new compression algorithm, and enhanced my papwrcraft design software... Because that's what I enjoy doing in my free time.

I've gotten back into enjoying tech projects again too. I just try to make sure my life isn't revolving around employment.

I work a job to pay for my side projects. If I could just work on those, taking care of the house, etc, and still make a living, I'd be very happy.
