If you only knew what these dogs go through with some owners, you'd sympathize a bit more...being left in a cage and beating the cage with a stick to build aggression...putting two dogs on treadmills face to face, inches apart, but  tied up so they can't reach each other to build aggression...throwing two dogs in the trunk of a car and riding around till one kills the other...OP, it's unfortunate what happened to your husband and I hope he heals very quickly.

Case by case,  The important thing to me is why I am doing it and when is enough enough to get off the treadmill. 

The magic puzzle piece is to not spend so much of it right now, or you will be trapped on that work/spend treadmill for a long time. 

IMO, Y O U don't build a path - - you follow it.I applaud your effort to get off the 9-5 treadmill; really I do, as I ran like all heck for 37 years on it.IMO, the wholesale PATH has lots of time, effort, labor and even more RISK than Sub2 and ATID. 

Thank god for Robert Kiyosaki, because without his book giving me the knock on the head and the kick in the *** I needed, I might have opened the Men’s Health and gotten on the treadmill and instead of being part of a successful investment team, I would be in shape.

Throw a podcast on or take a book to read while on the treadmill!

@Brian Jackson I drink wheat grass juice first thing in the morning, then run 1 mile on the treadmill, then 30 grams of protein.

. electric cord to neighbors property. shut off main breaker. chain my grandmother to a treadmill and a generatorbut seriously. solar panels. energy efficient appliances. energy proofing (windows,doors,insulation,etc)

Some days it's free time to follow real estate on the computer and do research.Last week it was 2 solid days of planting trees and building fence.Every day I use the treadmill, follow a good diet, and try to watch as much news as I have time for.

I love my treadmill.
