Earlier quoted context omitted.

"The price of being a wolf is loneliness. The price of being a sheep is boredom. Choose carefully what you will be."

Okay. I tried to find the author of the quote and the top Google result now points to HN. Is it from the book "Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity"?

Yes, it is http://gapingvoid.com/books/ by Hugh MacLeod. He draws cartoons at the back of business cards.

I am sorry I didn't quote the name of the author at the first place. I couldn't recall where I had read it. I searched around for a while and couldn't find it so I just posted without the author's name but in quotes to show it was from someone other than me.

Thank you for finding the book title, it helped me find the the site where I originally read this.

Simple solution:

Start research and planning for your own business when you are at home. Sure, this is supposed to be "family time" but you'll still be near them and at the least, be building the exploratory building blocks for a potential business that, if successful, could give you a whole lot more time w/ your family than you can ever get with your present job.

You should set an income goal (how much you need per month to take care of your family comfortably) and then try and plan a business that can help you reach that goal quickly and consistently.

My guess is you already have a lot of skills you can bank on to start a number of profitable businesses. You only need one.
