I am currently at my second regional in 1 1/2 yrs time. While the first one blew big monkey balls, the second is much better. Not perfect, now that I am no longer on first year pay that helps a good deal. With that being said now that I am additionally home based is huge!!!! My QOL meter is now pegged at a 8.0. That being said do what makes you happy, your life is so much more fulfilled that way.
