It's not too personal - although the grass always seems greener on the other side - I actually was asked that question by some people i met on my travels included border officers. I dont have a family (wife, parents or kids) and I am not tied to my possessions, i dont even watch TV and I currently work in a capacity that I dont have a 9-5. Working now to close a deal that hopefully will free me to do it again for a run to Burning Man with my lasers and empeg all ready to rock.
I probably am a good target for a SSD drive this time around - right now i just realized time marches on - i dont even have a serial port on the PC anymore , time to try to fix it from the linux box.
