I've often considered that that may be part of the problem or reason for people's apparent lack of enjoyment when playing live. It's hard to enjoy yourself when you know you are not properly bankrolled for the game you are sitting in and that the money you have sitting on the table at any one time would be a significant loss should you take a bad beat or just have a random downswing.
 
FWIW, I'm in the same boat as you. I occassionally play live NL, but I'm really not properly rolled for it, so it's always more of a one-off, take-a-shot type thing, and never with money that I can't afford to lose. I'm not even sure what a "proper" bankroll for live 1/2NL would be, but certainly in the thousands of dollars and I just don't have that kind of money lying around to be used as a poker-only bankroll.
 
That's why when I play live I generally (probably 90% of the time or so) play limit rather than NL. I'm comfortably rolled for that, so I don't have any financial worries in the back of my mind while I'm playing. It's a shame limit is a dead/dying form of poker.
 
Funny thing, too. People generally seem to have more fun in a limit game, at least from my experience. Perhaps, that's because everyone at the table realizes that we are literally playing for just a few bucks and no one is either going to get rich or lose next month's rent money while playing limit.
