My retirement money went into 13 years of Christian school for both my boys.

A decision I have never regretted

a mix of #4 and #6 here. (never had a 5).

Kid(s) are one heckuva a bargain at $150K. No price really can be set. One wonderful daughter here.

If you want to look at mostly the financial side of child rearing take a look at this MONEY article here:

As Obi said to Luke........"From a certain point of view"....It is all about perspective. We all have stood before our maker and asked.."Is this all there is?", "Why am I here?". We search our entire lives trying to find the answers to these questions. I have been blessed to have traveled around the world, (thank you Uncle Sam), looking for the answer to these questions. I have taken classes in electronics, auto mechanics, plumbing, masonry, carpentry, electricity (worked as one for many years), and medicine. All the time asking..."Is this all there is?".........

At 43 years of age, I have found the answer to those question. An answer that truly fills me with peace........ To be able to see a child's face as she discovers the wonders of the universe and know that it was you that help her on that journey. Knowing that it was you that help to mold the future.

No sleep........LOL..I don't sleep now.
No free time.......I have pretty much wasted most of my time up to now.
No fun.........What could be more fun then watching a child be amazed by the simplest things in life. And in turn rediscovering those joys for yourself.


Life is all about perspective..........And sometimes I can't help but laugh at the irony of it.
