Sounds good Chris. I certainly live within my means and try to minimise unnecessary spending on the theory of having less reliance on work and hence more free time.
Perhaps my biggest underlying problem is half my brain can't help but strive for something better, do more, do whatever it can to make a difference in life and make something of myself. Always trying to take on things which perhaps if I didn't do them they wouldn't get done. Problem is the other half of my brain just can't cope with all the pressure and working from dawn to dusk.
