From Corporate Zombie to Present Dad

5 years ago I was making 6 figures, never home before 8pm, kids barely knew me. Got laid off and honestly? Best thing that happened. Took a job that pays half but I'm home by 5:30. Miss the money and the prestige a bit, not gonna lie. But I gained actual relationships with my kids. My 6yo runs to the door when I come home. That's worth more than any promotion ever was.

That's real growth man. I teach my son guitar and honestly the best part isn't the music, it's the time together. Sounds like you figured that out the hard way.

This is it. Making good money means nothing if you miss their lives. Glad you found your way back into theirs.
