...advises, “do what you always dreamed of.” Rodriguez first dreamed of purchasing a Porsche 10 years ago when an ex-boyfriend bought one. Over the past year, he wrestled with the idea, and finally surrendered during January.

Flying to work doesn't shave any time off of my commute--which takes two hours each way, by car or by plane--but it makes the trip something to look forward to, rather than the mind-numbing experience it used to be. Flying is special in ways that go far beyond the shallow "I always dreamed...
