Lots of variety here.
I asked a similar question over on the QRZ.com fora, and the answers were almost universally: "I spent most of my time on HF, and just use VHF/UHF in the car during the commute."
Around here, (Chicago suburbs) people sign off by saying: "Well, I'm where I need to be, so I'll catch you later." as if there was no value to them in the conversation other than to pass the time. Like watching a sit-com or something. That's disappointing to me. I like to get to know people, and make friends, when I can. It's hard to do these days.
As for me, I'm a Tech only. I have a tri-band HT (Kenwood TH-F6A) and a dual band mobile. (Kenwood TM-V71A) I just recently sold my shack-in-the-box, like your Yaesu. Mine was the predecessor, the FT-100D. I kind of regret it now, as I will almost certainly get into HF when I get a house. Only HF mobile is practical from an apartment.
I'm also one of those guys with a busy family life. Divorced with a 2 year old from that marriage part-time. Remarried, with a 10 year old full time. Wife's a Chinese immigrant whom we're slowly getting through the system. Without neglecting family, The only real time I have for ham radio is mobile and the odd portable operation, on VHF and UHF.
Here's a tip for the other busy family guys: Get a set of FRS/GMRS radios for the family. Even if they don't pique any further radio interest, they can be quite useful when shopping, (you can split up efficiently) while hiking (you can split up) and going to other kinds of things like amusement parts. Heck, I'm even thinking of getting a set for my Mom and brother, to save her having to take stairs to talk to him, or run across the yard to reach him while in the garage. Then, when the range limitation kicks in, you can set the hook by saying something like: "Yeah, this is a bit limiting, compared to ham radio. Too bad you don't have your license...we could talk MILES away, even when cell service is down or inadequate..."
