Default Are you retired/unemployed/kids?

I don't get it. I got back to the hobby 2 years ago and I am obsessed. Still, I don't see how, with a family (wife+kid(s)+dog(s)+mortgage) and a 50+ hr American average work week you can build more than 1 (2 tops) planes a year. I see here people with amazing scratch built planes, 1/2A weird designs, engine mods, just name it. Unless people here have 10 times faster metabolisms than I have, where do you have time to do anything other than model airplanes?

I am so jealous at the scratch builders here (or all of the others with 10-50 planes).

Are you guys sure you know the name of your eldest kid/what your wife does when you build or fly a plane and with whom? or.. are you just kids, unemployed, retired or all of the above?

Hey, don't kill me for that, just answer, seriously or not. I will try to learn and implement from your wisdom
