Indeed. Your point is an excellent example of life-work balance. Saving is a beneficial habit for anyone, especially for those with a long term goal. We work to live and work for life, not vice versa. Sometimes we need to make choices over making less money/working less hours for spending more time with family or simply for yourself. Nowadays not many people can calm down and rethink about life and our most valuable time. I have always been a hard worker but known this clearly that life is larger than work.
You'll missed your child getting bigger which is true because of we keep chasing the money we forgot to have time in our family but again we do the hardwork for our family we work hard just to make their life comfortable even we keep sacrificing our time for them. Even my self if i do have a high salary right now i prefer to be with my family but the opportunity is not possible because i need to do a side hustle just to give them what they want but even i work hard it is still not enough. We really need to sacrifice things even we dont want to
as we prefer struggling than they are struggling I think it's not that simple as that. Being occupied by work all the time, making money so that your kid "won't be struggling", while he/she is growing up without you around, it's not good. You have to find a "life-work balance", as @FireDAOJackie_Z says. It's not easy to do, but it's very important to not ignore lest you end up with spoiled rich kid in the end.
Agreed. To find a life-work balance is hard but worth all efforts. The more important thing is that in the pursuit of balance, we have set a great role model to our kids. Parents are always children’s “heroes” and if we do nothing positive in life, they will be more likely to be less disciplined and live a miserable life. Nowadays kids are way easy to be spoiled and we, as parents, should both provide a good financial support, more time with kids, and draw a line not to spoil them for the sake of their healthy growth. It’s a difficult task as well but we should do it. No matter what.
