I think this is why I can’t get back into watching TV that much any longer. There’s so much other things to do and learn that I don’t have the time for that stuff any longer. Sure I can probably do more work but I’ve got another side job that I enjoy and brings in decent money and I think the balance of the work I do now compared to the stuff I do with family is good so that I don’t get too stressed out and can eat dinner and read books every night with the little man.
I’ve got an older friend that’s got a heck of a lot of money and you’d never know it either. He’s got old cars, doesn’t do anything flashy but has crazy investment properties. I would love to be in half the real estate position he’s in but it’s all opportunity cost. He sacrificed things at the right time and it’s paid off well. Others it hasn’t so I get the unique scenario.

I don't recommend for everyone to fill up every waking moment, but the truth is, most of don't have a second job of any kind and can't "find the time" to do anything of value, but do find the time to watch a crapload of crap on TV.
The "right time" to invest is always now I assume - what to invest in right now is the question :) However, having that possibility at the right time generally takes planning and this is where a second income stream can do a great deal of work.
