hahaha!!

yah, mine too. but i kinda plateau'ed around late 30's... i started realizing being a work acholic in my line of work is a big waste of my life. i work for a major corp so it's not like i make the biggest decisions at the top. i can do very well at my senior level, but the company can still f-k me if they start selling or watnot.

been spending my time wisely. middle class wins when you spend time wisely with family and stuff you like to do on your free time, i think. money is not everything..especially not at the nickels and dimes im making.

Kids would definitely throw a wrench into our current lives; we would be like then

Thankfully, I can increase my salary any time I want

I know you work for yourself but what do you do?

im sure it will near 4x when they are teens. hahaha. i tell my kids to go eat a burger before heading out to sushi.
