I’m glad to hear that CAR and sdr have achieved a good balance in raising their children. I think that is ideal and if I had kids, I’d to my best to do that, as well. I really don’t agree w/the model in the article.
I actually feel bad for those who compete against each other. It’s all about appearances and I think they are losing sight of many important things that matter besides material things. The drive to have an image of success, to me, many times is a facade.
Back maybe 30 years ago, if someone had, say, a Mercedes, well, then, you think that person has money. Today, whenever I see an expensive car, I just think that person has a lot of debt. It is not impressive to me. And I think many times that is one of the purposes of some people is to get a car to impress. I think they are fooling themselves.
