while doing something you feel is important. It doesn't have to be your most favoritest recreational activity, but it should be something you enjoy and feel is important and has meaning. And you don't "need" probably as much as you think ... you don't need to be a freakin' wealthy CBer. But definitely make enough to support your family.
My original dream career paid peanuts ... less than teachers ... so I switched to the next best thing I liked where I could provide for my family.
