I think the other dads hit it on the
head. "Having it all" is all in the eye of the beholder and it seems
that making those tough choices to cut "good things" to stay focused on
the "best things" is key. Those choices are only made when we take the
time to sit down and figure out what we want and value in life.
So, even though this is a discussion about money - I think the real
800-lb gorilla is the underlying question: what do you want in life?
Unfortunately, that's a much harder question to talk about at the neighborhood BBQ or around a round of beers, ya know?
