    I derive as much pleasure from having an evening where I can read for pleasure without guilt as I would from a full-blown vacation.

I had a similar experience during those times. A night where I could just drink a couple beers, and read a book or catch up on a TV show might as well have been a week long vacation. Oddly, it prepared me for my current lifestyle of a busy career, home ownership, and marriage. To this day I appreciate the free time I have so much. Being bored isn't really something I've experienced in a long long time.

But yeah, definitely not for everyone.
