Mrs. Micah, it sounds like you have a great dad.

And thanks re the new theme. I was looking for something “simple.”

tracy ho, thanks for the kind words. You know, it seemed like a brave move at the time (actually, like a stupid move), but looking back, all I can wonder is why it took me so long to make the change! It’s funny what we fear in life. Sometimes we are prisoners in jail cells of our own making.

DR, my dad never stepped down from something that big, but he probably passed up some promotions because his priorities were with us. I didn’t realize until I was older how few families sat down every night to dinner together. If they needed him to work overtime, he’d go back after we were in bed (he would be up until 3am @ home anyway because he couldn’t sleep). But he made evenings for us.

I think it’s great you’re doing that for your kids…and if they don’t appreciate it now, they will someday.

Speaking of change, I like the new theme.

Fathersez, I had lunch the other day with a good friend of mine who is still a partner at the firm. He makes more than $500,000 per year. I don’t make anything close to that (trust me, not even close), and yet I don’t regret my decision one bit. Would I like to make $500,000 per year? Sure. But more importantly, I know who my children’s best friends are, I know the names of each of their teachers, and I sit down to dinner with them and my wife EVERY night.

This is a great article.

I have long known/realized that I was sacrificing my family for my so called career but never did anything about it. Talk about golden handcuffs.

(I am amazed at how you clearly chose your priorities and threw away such a big pay difference.)

I am now at a stage of reconsidering quitting the rat race and your advice will come in most handy.

Thanks
