I was called over to help an old friend of mine move yesterday. We are both in our early 30s but he already has 5 kids and a wife. I picked a route prioritizing career and money meanwhile he decided to go the family route. I couldn’t imagine a life where I work for borderline minimum wage, drive an old car and live just to support my family, however he loves it. The joy he has when he cashes in his paycheck on his kids clothes or toys is similar to a young child first birthday. It’s like he’s a child all over again. The point I’m trying to make is that everyone has their own special thing that brings them joy or fulfillment. Also I stole this story from a small account on X for engagement
