Great post. Kids are kids once. That time goes by so fast and there is no next time.
Being full time has a honeymoon phase then it's well boring unless you have other interests. Even if I wanted to spend 7/8 hrs per day in deep research mode my brain would fizzle out.
Good luck on the marathon. Why someone would intentionally do those is beyond me.
Thank you for this recap and for sharing your journey, much appreciated !
I got my last paycheck in 2019 as well, and I’ve been supporting my wife & 2 young kids since then. That’s quite a lot of pressure and the 2nd boat Gif is quite accurate ahah, but spending time with the kids (especially as they are homeschooled) and being able to work on my own terms is invaluable. All the best to you and your family for 2024 :)
