[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you’re independently wealthy you wouldn’t be able to afford the far flung trips anyway. And if you are, quit your job and get a live in nanny, build trust with her for the next year and then leave her with your kids and tired husband for a week or two at a time).

I think you’re looking at this through rose tinted glasses of what might have been and undervaluing what you’ve built and achieved … identifying a realistic counterfactual scenario will be key to realizing you’ve probably taken the most valuable path.

Plus, retirement is long nowadays if you Dave wisely and don’t have a ton of kids to put through college … get planning. Half of the enjoyment of travel is the anticipation anyway (now I heard that in a podcast so how evidence based it is I don’t know)

And if rationality isn’t working, go spiritual … it’s all we have left nowadays since truth doesn’t exist anymore. The more woo the better … unless it’s gwneth and goop.

Seriously though, look at all you’ve built, an intense job, kids, you’re still married, you still give enough of a damn to feel bad about this. You’re doing great. [/quote]
