[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Little time with the kids in this case seems to be part of the package for "The lifestyle" that people keep referencing OP wanting to preserve. It seems pretty straightforward. They have built themselves a lifestyle that is rich in many ways but the tradeoff is quality family time. I'm not sure that more money would even help. There are only 24 hours in the day and diminishing returns for outsourcing what remains.

This type of prestige is frankly kind of revolting. Talk about "first world problems"! What good reasons are there to keep it up if there are alternatives that result in less income but more happiness? Honestly, what is a good reason to work so hard that you need to outsource life in order to drive a fancy, not just reliable, car? I just can't get in the heads of ppl who choose this to be their "problem".[/quote]

Exactly this.  There is so many hours in a day.  Either stay on the roller coaster or get off, but stop pretending spending more money will change anything.[/quote]
