I am 40 now. Was just looking back and rewinding back at my life. From 25 years of age to 37 years, was working at a break neck pace, clocking in 18 hour days for most days in a week. A lot of times, when I reached home, everyone is asleep already. People my age are wondering why I was working so hard and living such a frugal life. At 37 years old, I decided that i needed to spend more time with my family and loved ones, thus worked 3.5 days a week. True, I have achieved financial independence within 12 years of working but alas, i have also sacrificed family time in doing so. I guess I need to make up good for the lost time. Hopefully, its not too late. Life is like a game, you win some and you lose some.
