Thanks for the recommendation. I'm definitely going to pick up a copy!

It's not so much about the money but rather the money that buys me time with my family. I want to be able to spend as much time as I can with them to make memories and to help them love and support one another the whole way through their lives. Being there, being around is maybe the best I thing I can do.

Congrats on the third. A lot of people wish they had more kids. 

Don't stress too much about money. Lots of people with lots of money have crappy lives. Work on production (i.e. doing things yourself, making your own fun) vs consumption.

Embrace frugality. A good older book is **The Tightwad Gazette**. Some of the advice is dated, but the mindset is timeless.
