Let me turn this around for you: if you want to take care of the kid, you need to take care of yourself. And that includes your finances and your mindset, both of which will be imposed on the child. Perpetuate the cycle or break free. I'm not saying start a business. I'm saying get to the other side of average compensation.



I can't disagree with you here. I'm definitely trying to change that mindset to get to the other side of average pay. I'm actually surprised by how many at my company are in the same boat.

Thanks for the advice. Certainly, the kid will come first over work. The rest needs to support that!
