[QUOTE="drkelly, post: 426047, member: 825"] I was/am the same way and agree with your comments. I too used to talk trash about my buddies who settled down. Then I met a woman who I had a lot of fun spending time with. We got married, then when my boy was born it changed me in ways I did not expect. He is 3.5 yrs old now. A coworker was telling me a story the other day. He was sitting on the couch watching his 9 yr old boy play video games. His boy said,"dad, don't you have something else to do?" That story made me sad and shook me up a bit. Right now, my boy wants to play with me all the time. A few days ago he told me that I was his best friend, lol. That moment will come when my boy no longer wants me around all the time. Playing with his friends will become more fun than playing with dad. For now I am soaking it up for as long as it lasts. As far as money goes, my wife and I both very much dislike working, lol! We are a team, saving and investing a large portion of our income so we can retire as early as possible and live the good life. My wife also makes over twice as much as I do, so I think that creates a different dynamic that majority of relationships when it comes to financial decisions. When I first got into wheeling about 12 years ago, it didn't take long before I caught the 'bigger is better' fever like most people. At one point, I was on the fence about cutting up my cab truck and building a nice $20-$30k buggy like everyone else seemed to be doing. After a while, my attitude changed. I have a lot of fun wheeling my beat up Samurai that I've spent about $5k on over the years. [/QUOTE]
