I am at the point most people get to which some call a "mid-life" crisis. However, I feel quite comfortable where I am and what direction I am going in. Before someone asks, we are now too old to have kids because of our careers, so we are quite content to have "rent-a-kids" (nieces/nephews, etc.) who will spoil.

Do I a "change" direction, with the possible loss of income ? Or do I set new goals. What motivates you, so I can have some idea as to what possible goals I can chose from.
