[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhat counterinuitive but this is what I'd say.

--Work hard: It's not only health that peaks when you are young. My career peaked mid-thirties. Opportunities may diminish.

--Spend at least some money frivolously. You can always save money for a rainy day (and should to a degree). But if you have the opportunity to take a big trip, recognize that you may not do so again.

--But of course, also be prudent and save some.

--Give yourself a break. It's OK for a while just to feel like vedging in front of the TV at night.

--Try to keep up with some exercise. [/quote]

Bingo! Find a regime that works well for your skin. Prioritize fitness, even though you think you don't have any time for it at all. Do a health check in and focus on getting your numbers right. Re-think what makes you happy---is it really still the things you enjoyed before family life? Embrace where you are.

Most importantly, enjoy now. You don't want to look back and wonder why the hell you wasted time beating yourself up over things that don't really matter in the end.
