How about you?
Never base money needs on accumulated overtime. Always base your future bills on 40 hours pay.
Try to spend as much time as possible with family. If keeping up with the \Jones / wanting all the toys, is your goal in life, then be prepared for a-lot of regrets when you age.
Your kids will be more thankful / cherish all the memories with you, being next to them more often. When they enter adult life, they won't complain about not having all the toys other kids in their neighborhood had growing up. They will likely thank you for always being present for them, while growing up.
I wasn't home for my kids enough - when they were growing up. Being absent from their hour-to-hour activities in late evenings during their school years, is a big regret of mine. I got too involved in working those jobs and giving them too many toys.
Wish I hadn't done it that way now. For my kids may have cherished family life better, had we remained a foursome in activities more often.
