    Fully aware and taking advantage of it. A previous colleague asked me “just what are you doing with your time that you can’t make time for kids?” It was very difficult not to laugh out loud. When I ran down the list of activities and projects I was working on, it looked like they had died inside a little. The response was a meek “oh… I see”.

    Who knows, maybe the response was an “poor guy, doesn’t know what it is to be happy with kids” or “I wish I had that sort of time”. Regardless, I’m enjoying my free time. Especially travelling off season and outside of the school holidays… you can definitely put a price on that.

        Part of a political party that is for a #WealthTax. They haven’t joined the fediverse yet, but I’m trying to convince them. And physical, political activism is part of the activities.

        Not sure it’s something to get jealous of, people aren’t necessarily nice when you talk about taxes, but sometimes their eyes light up when they understand and that’s the joy of doing it.

          Bro you can do that with 3 kids. Because you have someone who would benefit from wealth tax.

            “I can neglect my kids and chase my dreams”. Sure, we could all do that, but would you have happy kids or a good relationship with them?

            Plus, I mentioned one of my activities. Not all of them.
