Also grateful that I stepped off, and went a more traditional route. On the other hand, I see many that I knew during my TM days, many who were smarter than me and who could have probably made a big splash in the "real" world, but who stayed with the program, i.e. living in Fairfield, probably scraping by somewhat.

Well, you're right. I have an anonyomous Facebook account and periodically I check in and try to get an idea of how the friends I had during my TM and Fairfield days are doing. It lo0ks like many of them are self employed, or employed by small businesses. The impression I get is that they are not rollling in the money, but seem generally happy, and have a lifestyle they enjoy. And that lifestyle in many ways seems better than what I see out here.
