[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I purchased a small business as a widowed parent and sent my daughter to a high quality Montessori preschool. Between the payments to the business and daycare fees it actually COST me money to go to work each day. But when she was in full day kindergarten and the business was paid off, I started to make some decent gains. The business was structured that I was ultimately able to volunteer in classrooms, take kids to afterschool activities, and have a good work/life balance.

Had I not taken this risk, my family would have less financial security today. The successful business I built up has afforded us a very pleasant lifestyle. I'm close to sending my last child to college. I'm glad I looked at the big picture.[/quote]

Kudos to you, PP, sounds like you made wise choices and investments. I'm sorry for your loss many years ago.[/quote]

PP you responded to. Thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy for my small company and for what I've built. And very grateful to the long ago seller who took a chance with me (bypassing a cash offer) to allow me payments over time. It was a huge blessing in a very challenging period of my life. I support all parents who struggle with work and childcare expenses. It's a balancing act for all of us.
