A statement/advice from my father that I can appreciate

[krunchykrome]

I was talking to my father the other day about various items like the economy, my job, money, etc.

We started talking about me having children, and I explained to him that I'd like to make more money first, and the economy has to be in decent shape at the time as well. He went on to convince me that there will never be a perfect time to have children, and people shouldn't let the economy and money run their lives.

The specific statement he made that I appreciated was "The people that make a lot of money are the ones that don't spend their time stressing about money". I really liked that statement, and I agree with it for the most part. I think what he was trying to tell me was that success will come to those who don't make money their lives; it will come to those who have a passion for life.

Not having children does not equal a ruined life.

I dunno about that - the richest people I know seem to spend their entire time working and thinking about money, even to the detriment of their children.
