Sure, ya build up other interests over time, tho can't say they were considered part of a backup plan - just diversifying into areas where there is an interest, particularly highly niched real estate/development, and not necessarily just for the money, tho they happen to earn far more than investment in net activity and without the work.

Can't say I've ever chased a dollar - was more interested in making whatever project work and getting a buz from that - and still interested in stuff that was started decades ago and no wish to dump any of these projects or escape from them.

It's also nice to stuff on another hat and take a break from adult webmastering and do something else.
