You and your wife work everyday, unlike the point your Dad made about working hard so your Mom can stay home.. it'd be hard if your wife had to microwave TV dinners for all of you every night (and TV dinners can cost quite a bit unless they're the unhealthy kinds). Sorry, my bad.
I'm living my dad's hope for me.
Take time off to be with him and my son most weeks of the year. Home every night, take off early to see my son's sporting events and go to all the band concerts at night.
Same with my wife, we've both turned down jobs. We live work/life balance, and work to live. (not live to work)
It's a good system. We get to live on more cash than most people, and can't really have our world turned upside down by a dismissal or be forced to take our careers in directions we don't want to go.
That is as "free" as it gets if you're not independently wealthy.
