Using games to justify going on adventure, I'm guessing he is not going to stay within a mile from home playing.

If it werent for the house/car loans I'd love to quit working and go on an adventure, but I don't think my wife would like that. Better get it done before the little one starts school though. Wonder how long one could make the savings last.

I'd ditch the phone though.
