Since I’m turning 27 soon with not even a hint of a long-term relationship, I’m coming to the realization that my biggest pusher to do better in life is the eventual need of having to provide for family. Now that I’m approaching 30, I am realizing that a family, especially children, are not a given in the future. If I don’t have a family, I’m more than okay sacrificing money for flexibility to be able to go and travel for months out of the year. I don’t care about cars and expensive possessions in general. The only thing I wanted was a home, (which is now generating income due to roommates), and to be able to invest enough for retirement. Therefore, I’m having a quarter life crisis perhaps, where I’m afraid of going with the flexibility and then being broke with a family, or sacrificing flexibility and then being a single 50 year old with missed out experiences. So what pushes you to keep going to do better financially and in your career once financial stability has been met? submitted by /u/Hot_Instruction_5318
