[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a few yrs older than you and started earlier on kids so one is done w/college, one in college, and one in HS. Lived in this area my entire life and am happy w/where we are $ and family-wise.
1. What did you find rewarding about your job? What have you enjoyed? I've had 2 main careers - first when kids were little, made very little $ but off work by 3pm each day. Make about 6x now and work a lot more. Not really looking for much of a reward outside financial but it's interesting, I work hard, and most of the people are decent.
2. What do you wish you did differently? Honestly, nothing. Starting a family early was tough but glad I did. Buying a crappy house and fixing it up was a lot with little kids but very rewarding (esp $$).

It's all about balance. If you're lucky enough to be raising kids with a partner, share the load. The kids will be better for it and you won't resent each other. $$ only gets you so far - can't take it with you.[/quote]

Sounds like you have the life hack of buying a house before they exploded in cost. [/quote]
